[PATCH 1/3] vmalloc: Add __vmalloc_node_try_addr function

[Rick Edgecombe]

Create __vmalloc_node_try_addr function that tries to allocate at a specific
address.  The implementation relies on __vmalloc_node_range for the bulk of the
work.  To keep this function from spamming the logs when an allocation failure
is fails, __vmalloc_node_range is changed to only warn when __GFP_NOWARN is not
set.  This behavior is consistent with this flags interpretation in
alloc_vmap_area.
