copy_params uses kmalloc with vmalloc fallback.  We already have a
helper for that - kvmalloc.  This caller requires GFP_NOIO semantic so
it hasn't been converted with many others by previous patches.  All we
need to achieve this semantic is to use the scope
memalloc_noio_{save,restore} around kvmalloc.
