Gao Xiang has reported that the page allocator complains about high order
__GFP_NOFAIL request coming from the vmalloc core:

 __alloc_pages+0x1cb/0x5b0 mm/page_alloc.c:5549
 alloc_pages+0x1aa/0x270 mm/mempolicy.c:2286
 vm_area_alloc_pages mm/vmalloc.c:2989 [inline]
 __vmalloc_area_node mm/vmalloc.c:3057 [inline]
 __vmalloc_node_range+0x978/0x13c0 mm/vmalloc.c:3227
 kvmalloc_node+0x156/0x1a0 mm/util.c:606
 kvmalloc include/linux/slab.h:737 [inline]
 kvmalloc_array include/linux/slab.h:755 [inline]
 kvcalloc include/linux/slab.h:760 [inline]

it seems that I have completely missed high order allocation backing
vmalloc areas case when implementing __GFP_NOFAIL support.  This means
that [k]vmalloc at al.  can allocate higher order allocations with
__GFP_NOFAIL which can trigger OOM killer for non-costly orders easily or
cause a lot of reclaim/compaction activity if those requests cannot be
satisfied.

Fix the issue by falling back to zero order allocations for __GFP_NOFAIL
requests if the high order request fails.
