[Devel] [PATCH rh7] tty/vt: avoid high order pages allocation on GIO_UNIMAP ioctl

GIO_UNIMAP can easily result in a high order allocation,
seen 6th order allocation on radeondrmfb:

  fbcon: radeondrmfb (fb0) is primary device
  Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 160x64
  radeon 0000:01:05.0: fb0: radeondrmfb frame buffer device
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 78661 at mm/page_alloc.c:3532
	__alloc_pages_nodemask+0x1b1/0x600
  order 6 >= 3, gfp 0x40d0

At the same time it's safe to use kvmalloc() for allocation in
con_get_unimap(), so let's do the substitution.

And do the same for con_set_unimap().
