3.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Heinz Mauelshagen <[email protected]> commit 14f398ca2f26a2ed6236aec54395e0fa06ec8a82 upstream. The memory allocated for the multiqueue policy's hash table doesn't need to be physically contiguous. Use vzalloc() instead of kzalloc(). Fedora has been carrying this fix since 10/10/2013.
