[ Upstream commit 7c47a219b95d0e06b5ef5fcc7bad807895015eac ]
We met mulitple times of failure of staring bmc-watchdog, due to the runtime memory allocation failure of order 4.

Using vzalloc/vfree for creating ipmi_user heals the problem
Thanks to Stephen Rothwell for finding the vmalloc.h inclusion issue.
