ide-tape: improve buffer allocation strategy
Instead of allocating pages for the buffer one by one, take advantage of the buddy alloc system and request them 2^order at a time. This increases the chance for bigger buffer parts to be contigious and reduces loop iteration count. While at it, rename function __idetape_kmalloc_stage() to ide_tape_kmalloc_buffer(). [bart: fold with "ide-tape: fix mem leak" patch to preserve bisectability] Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <petkovbb@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
