Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/vmalloc: Fallback to a single page allocator
Currently for order-0 pages we use a bulk-page allocator to get
set of pages. From the other hand not allocating all pages is
something that might occur. In that case we should fallbak to
the single-page allocator trying to get missing pages, because
it is more permissive(direct reclaim, etc).
Introduce a vm_area_alloc_pages() function where the described
logic is implemented.
