crypto: lzo - try kmalloc() before vmalloc()
zswap allocates one LZO context per online cpu.
Using vmalloc() for small (16KB) memory areas has drawback of slowing
down /proc/vmallocinfo and /proc/meminfo reads, TLB pressure and poor
NUMA locality, as default NUMA policy at boot time is to interleave
pages :
edumazet:~# grep lzo /proc/vmallocinfo | head -4
0xffffc90006062000-0xffffc90006067000 20480 lzo_init+0x1b/0x30 pages=4 vmalloc N0=2 N1=2
0xffffc90006067000-0xffffc9000606c000 20480 lzo_init+0x1b/0x30 pages=4 vmalloc N0=2 N1=2
0xffffc9000606c000-0xffffc90006071000 20480 lzo_init+0x1b/0x30 pages=4 vmalloc N0=2 N1=2
0xffffc90006071000-0xffffc90006076000 20480 lzo_init+0x1b/0x30 pages=4 vmalloc N0=2 N1=2
This patch tries a regular kmalloc() and fallback to vmalloc in case
memory is too fragmented.
