Subject: [PATCH] vduse: avoid using __GFP_NOFAIL

Barry said [1]:

"""
mm doesn't support non-blockable __GFP_NOFAIL allocation. Because
__GFP_NOFAIL without direct reclamation may just result in a busy
loop within non-sleepable contexts.
""“

Unfortuantely, we do that under read lock. A possible way to fix that
is to move the pages allocation out of the lock into the caller, but
having to allocate a huge number of pages and auxiliary page array
seems to be problematic as well per Tetsuon [2]:

"""
You should implement proper error handling instead of using
__GFP_NOFAIL if count can become large.
"""

So I choose another way, which does not release kernel bounce pages
when user tries to register usersapce bounce pages. Then we don't need
to do allocation in the path which is not expected to be fail (e.g in
the release). We pay this for more memory usage but further
optimizations could be done on top.
