Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] zram: try vmalloc() after kmalloc()

From: Kyeongdon Kim <kyeongdon.kim@....com>

When we're using LZ4 multi compression streams for zram swap,
we found out page allocation failure message in system running test.
That was not only once, but a few(2 - 5 times per test).
Also, some failure cases were continually occurring to try allocation
order 3.

In order to make parallel compression private data, we should call
kzalloc() with order 2/3 in runtime(lzo/lz4). But if there is no order
 2/3 size memory to allocate in that time, page allocation fails.
This patch makes to use vmalloc() as fallback of kmalloc(), this
prevents page alloc failure warning.

After using this, we never found warning message in running test, also
It could reduce process startup latency about 60-120ms in each case.

For reference a call trace :

Binder_1: page allocation failure: order:3, mode:0x10c0d0
CPU: 0 PID: 424 Comm: Binder_1 Tainted: GW 3.10.49-perf-g991d02b-dirty #20
