[PATCH net-next 5/6] qlcnic: Don't use kzalloc unncecessarily for allocating large chunk of memory

[Shahed Shaikh]

From: Shahed Shaikh <shahed.sha...@qlogic.com>

Driver allocates a large chunk of temporary buffer using kzalloc
to copy FW image. As there is no real need of this memory to be
physically contiguous, use vzalloc instead.
