mm/large system hash: use vmalloc for size > MAX_ORDER when !hashdist
The kernel currently clamps large system hashes to MAX_ORDER when hashdist
is not set, which is rather arbitrary.
vmalloc space is limited on 32-bit machines, but this shouldn't result in
much more used because of small physical memory limiting system hash
sizes.
Include "vmalloc" or "linear" in the kernel log message.
