Reports indicates that some userspace applications try to merge more than

While that is clearly an userspace bug we should probably handle that
case
gracefully in the kernel.
So we can either reject requests to merge more than a reasonable
amount of
fences (64k maybe?) or we can start to use kvzalloc() instead of
kzalloc().
This patch here does the later.
Rejecting would potentially be safer, otherwise there is a path for
userspace to trigger a warn in kvmalloc_node (see 0829b5bcdd3b
("drm/i915: 2 GiB of relocations ought to be enough for anybody*")) and
spam dmesg at will.
Actually that is a WARN_ON_*ONCE* there so maybe not so critical to
invent a limit. Up for discussion I suppose.

Question is what limit to set...
