module/decompress: use vmalloc() for zstd decompression workspace
Using kmalloc() to allocate the decompression workspace for zstd may
trigger the following warning when large modules are loaded (i.e., xfs):

However, continuous physical memory does not seem to be required in
module_zstd_decompress(), so use vmalloc() instead, to prevent the
warning and avoid potential failures at loading compressed modules.
