[PATCH] net_sched: use kvmalloc rather than opencoded variant

[Michal Hocko]

fq_alloc_node opencodes kmalloc with vmalloc fallback. Use the kvmalloc
variant instead. Keep the __GFP_REPEAT flag based on explanation from
Eric:
"
At the time, tests on the hardware I had in my labs showed that
vmalloc() could deliver pages spread all over the memory and that was a
small penalty (once memory is fragmented enough, not at boot time)
"
