    stm class: Use vmalloc for the master map · b5e2ced9

    Fengguang is running into a warning from the buddy allocator:
    
    > swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:9, mode:0x14040c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null)
    > CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.17.0-rc1 #262

    >  stm_register_device+0xf3/0x5c0: stm_register_device at drivers/hwtracing/stm/core.c:695
    ...
    
    Which is basically a result of the stm class trying to allocate ~512kB
    for the dummy_stm with its default parameters. There's no reason, however,
    for it not to be vmalloc()ed instead, which is what this patch does.
