Andrew Morton 6d4831c283 vfs: avoid large kmalloc()s for the fdtable
Azurit reports large increases in system time after 2.6.36 when running
Apache.  It was bisected down to a892e2d7dc ("vfs: use kmalloc()
to allocate fdmem if possible").

That patch caused the vfs to use kmalloc() for very large allocations and
this is causing excessive work (and presumably excessive reclaim) within
the page allocator.

Fix it by falling back to vmalloc() earlier - when the allocation attempt
would have been considered "costly" by reclaim.
