[Nouveau] [RFC PATCH] drm/nouveau: use vmalloc for pgt allocation

Page tables on nv50 take 48kB, which can be hard to allocate in one piece.
Let's use vmalloc.

I was hitting the same allocation failure on my fermi after keeping my system
running for a
a week, and doing plenty of suspend/resume cycles (16+) in between it was
failing an order 6
allocation, which I assume means it was attempting to allocate 256 kilobyte of
physical memory
contiguously. My system has 16 gigabyte of ram, and had about 4 gb free
afterwards when I
checked, so it wasn't like there was not enough memory. It was probably just
too fragmented
to allocate with kmalloc, while vmalloc doesn't require the memory to be
physicallly contiguous.

Same thing here. Except I don't do suspend/resume. Occasionally I get this:
