vfs: use kmalloc() to allocate fdmem if possible

Use kmalloc() to allocate fdmem if possible.

vmalloc() is used as a fallback solution for fdmem allocation.  A new
helper function __free_fdtable() is introduced to reduce the lines of
code.

A potential bug, vfree() a memory allocated by kmalloc(), is fixed.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: use __GFP_NOWARN, uninline alloc_fdmem() and free_fdmem()]
