When registering a umem area that is sufficiently large (>1G on an x86), kmalloc cannot be used to allocate one of the internal data structures, as the size requested gets too large. Use kvmalloc instead that falls back on vmalloc if the allocation is too large for kmalloc. Also add accounting for this structure as it is triggered by a user space action (the XDP_UMEM_REG setsockopt) and it is by far the largest structure of kernel allocated memory in xsk.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
