netem: dont call vfree() under spinlock and BH disabled
commit 6373a9a286 (netem: use vmalloc for distribution table) added a regression, since vfree() is called while holding a spinlock and BH being disabled. Fix this by doing the pointers swap in critical section, and freeing after spinlock release. Also add __GFP_NOWARN to the kmalloc() try, since we fallback to vmalloc().
