[S390] dasd: use vmalloc for statistics input buffer
The size of the buffer that is used to store DASD statistics input strings depends on the user input. If the input string is to large, the write operation could fail with -ENOMEM. To avoid this, use vmalloc instead of kmalloc. Signed-off-by: Stefan Weinhuber <wein@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
