[v2] net/fq_impl: Switch to kvmalloc() for memory allocation

Commit Message

Toke Høiland-Jørgensen Nov. 5, 2019, 3:57 p.m. UTC

The FQ implementation used by mac80211 allocates memory using kmalloc(),
which can fail; and Johannes reported that this actually happens in
practice.

To avoid this, switch the allocation to kvmalloc() instead; this also
brings fq_impl in line with all the FQ qdiscs.
