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.
