Subject: btrfs: use kvzalloc to allocate btrfs_fs_info
Git-commit: a8fd1f71749387c9a1053a83ff1c16287499a4e7
Patch-mainline: v4.16-rc4
References: bsc#1062897

The srcu_struct in btrfs_fs_infoa scales in size with NR_CPUS.  On
kernels built with NR_CPUS=8192, this can result in kmalloc failures
that prevent mounting.

There is work in progress to try to resolve this for every user of
srcu_struct but using kvzalloc will work around the failures until
that is complete.
