Public bug reported:

Description:  qeth: use vzalloc for QUERY OAT buffer

Symptom:      qethqoat tool fails.

Problem:      qeth_query_oat_command() currently allocates the kernel 
              buffer for the SIOC_QETH_QUERY_OAT ioctl with kzalloc.

Solution:     Using vzalloc() instead of kzalloc(), backing the
allocation with non-contiguous memory.


Commit -ID:  aec45e857c5538664edb76a60dd452e3265f37d1
kernel 4.19.

To be fixed for 18.10, 18,04 and 16.04.
