This is a followup of commit 234ec0b603 ("netlink: fix potential
sleeping issue in mqueue_flush_file"), because vfree_atomic()
overhead is unfortunate for medium sized allocations.
1) If the allocation is smaller than PAGE_SIZE, do not bother
with vmalloc() at all. Some arches have 64KB PAGE_SIZE,
while NLMSG_GOODSIZE is smaller than 8KB.
2) Use kvmalloc(), which might allocate one high order page
instead of vmalloc if memory is not too fragmented.

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.
