mm/vmalloc: request large order pages from buddy allocator

Sometimes, vm_area_alloc_pages() will want many pages from the buddy
allocator.  Rather than making requests to the buddy allocator for at most
100 pages at a time, we can eagerly request large order pages a smaller
number of times.

We still split the large order pages down to order-0 as the rest of the
vmalloc code (and some callers) depend on it.  We still defer to the bulk
allocator and fallback path in case of order-0 pages or failure.

Running 1000 iterations of allocations on a small 4GB system finds:

1000 2mb allocations:
	[Baseline]			[This patch]
	real    46.310s			real    0m34.582
	user    0.001s			user    0.006s
	sys     46.058s			sys     0m34.365s

10000 200kb allocations:
	[Baseline]			[This patch]
	real    56.104s			real    0m43.696
	user    0.001s			user    0.003s
	sys     55.375s			sys     0m42.995s
