[PATCH] sched_ext: Use kvzalloc for large exit_dump allocation

[Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>]

Replace kzalloc with kvzalloc for the exit_dump buffer allocation, which
can require large contiguous memory (up to order=9) depending on the
implementation. This change prevents allocation failures by allowing the
system to fall back to vmalloc when contiguous memory allocation fails.

Since this buffer is only used for debugging purposes, physical memory
contiguity is not required, making vmalloc a suitable alternative.
