[Devel] [PATCH VZ9] dm-qcow2-map: disable high-order allocation warning

Since 4M GFP_NOIO is out of reach, we can just pre-alloc the required 
memory.
In current iteration all reads are processed from one work item. Seems 
like process_compressed_read() uses buffer only in the scope of it's 
function, without submitting any io with it. Therefore there is no 
concurrency and allocating a single buffer (probably kvmalloc will do 
too) during alloc_qcow2_target() will do the trick for us.
