[Devel] [PATCH vz9 1/2] neighbour: restore hashtable size limit

[Alexander Atanasov]

With counters fro neigh entries per VE introduced in
https://virtuozzo.atlassian.net/browse/PSBM-87155
tbl->entries, which served as limit of hashtable size,
become unlimited, so the table can grow very large.

Table is allocated via __get_free_pages which allocates
continious regions of phys mem and large order allocations
are very likely to fail - which was observed in the issue.

To address this limit the allocation order to 5.

Fixes: 019712d0d37d (ve/net/neighbour: per-ct limit for neighbour entries)
