    net/vhost: Replace kmalloc with kvmalloc for order>=3
    
    Currently we allocate 8 pages of memory in vhost_net_set_ubuf_info() function
    and we do not need them to be physically contiguous, so it is feasible to
    replace a call to kmalloc() with a call to kvmalloc().
    
    UIO_MAXIOV = 1024
    struct ubuf_info {
            void (*callback)(struct ubuf_info *, bool zerocopy_success);
            void *ctx;
            unsigned long desc;
    };
    
    sizeof(struct ubuf_info) = 24
    1024 * 24 / 4096 = 6, rounded up to 2^3 = 8 pages.
