Alexey Kardashevskiy 7f1fa82d79 powerpc/iommu: Allocate it_map by vmalloc
The IOMMU table uses the it_map bitmap to keep track of allocated DMA
pages. This has always been a contiguous array allocated at either
the boot time or when a passed through device is returned to the host OS.
The it_map memory is allocated by alloc_pages() which allocates
contiguous physical memory.

Such allocation method occasionally creates a problem when there is
no big chunk of memory available (no free memory or too fragmented).
On powernv/ioda2 the default DMA window requires 16MB for it_map.

This replaces alloc_pages_node() with vzalloc_node() which allocates
contiguous block but in virtual memory. This should reduce changes of
failure but should not cause other behavioral changes as it_map is only
used by the kernel's DMA hooks/api when MMU is on.
