[PATCH -resend] drm/nouveau: use vmalloc for pgt allocation

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Marcin Slusarz <marcin.slusarz@gmail.com>

Page tables on nv50 take 48kB, which can be hard to allocate in one piece.
Let's use vmalloc.

[js] It is a pain for opensuse users as they see it on a daily basis.
Let's fix it for good. One example of a trace is as follows:

firefox: page allocation failure. order:3, mode:0x2000d0
Pid: 5068, comm: firefox Not tainted 3.7.9-3-desktop #1

Scratch this one. It's missing CCs.
