The kcalloc() in dmirror_device_evict_chunk() will return null if the
physical memory has run out. As a result, if src_pfns or dst_pfns is
dereferenced, the null pointer dereference bug will happen.
Moreover, the device is going away. If the kcalloc() fails, the pages
mapping a chunk could not be evicted. So add a __GFP_NOFAIL flag in
kcalloc().
Finally, as there is no need to have physically contiguous memory, Switch
kcalloc() to kvcalloc() in order to avoid failing allocations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
