qlcnic: Don't use kzalloc unncecessarily for allocating large chunk of memory

Shahed Shaikh · davem330 · commit 0e90ad9bfdcc · 2015-08-10T13:34:28.000-07:00
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.
