[PATCH 1/2] drm/amdgpu: Use virtual alloc during coredump

The number of rings with outstanding fences can be large, requiring a
bigger allocation. Such allocations don't need to be physically
contiguous, so use kvzalloc/kvcalloc which fall back to vmalloc when
contiguous memory isn't available. This also matches the existing
kvfree used to free these allocations.

Also guard the allocation with ring_count to avoid passing 0 size to
allocation routines.

Fixes: eea85914d15b ("drm/amdgpu: save ring content before resetting the device")
