Subject: net/mlxfw: Fix out-of-memory error in mfa2 flash burning
Patch-mainline: v5.5-rc5
Git-commit: a5bcd72e054aabb93ddc51ed8cde36a5bfc50271
References: bsc#1051858

The burning process requires to perform internal allocations of large
chunks of memory. This memory doesn't need to be contiguous and can be
safely allocated by vzalloc() instead of kzalloc(). This patch changes
such allocation to avoid possible out-of-memory failure.

Fixes: 410ed13cae39 ("Add the mlxfw module for Mellanox firmware flash process")
