[Devel] [PATCH rh7] sched: Fallback to 0-order allocations in sched_create_group()

On large machines ->cpustat_last/->vcpustat arrays are large
causing possibly failing high-order allocation:

       fio: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0xc0d0

       Call Trace:
         dump_stack+0x19/0x1b
         warn_alloc_failed+0x110/0x180
          __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x7bf/0xc60
         alloc_pages_current+0x98/0x110
         kmalloc_order+0x18/0x40
         kmalloc_order_trace+0x26/0xa0
         __kmalloc+0x279/0x290
         sched_create_group+0xba/0x150
         sched_autogroup_create_attach+0x3f/0x1a0
         sys_setsid+0x73/0xc0
         system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

Use kvzalloc to fallback to vmalloc() and avoid failure if
high order page is not available.
