Vmalloc may offen get pages by loop invoke alloc_pags, this is
cost too much time in count watermark/cpuset or something.
Let's just try alloc by alloc_pages_bulk, if failed, fullback in
original path.

With my own test, simulate loop alloc_page and alloc_pages_bulk_array,
get this:
size		1M	10M	20M	30
normal		44	1278	3665	5581
test		34	889	2167	3300
optimize	22%	30%	40%	40%
And in my vmalloc top sort, zram/f2fs may alloc more than 20MB, so,
It's worth to use alloc_pages_bulk.
