From: Dong Dong Chen <ddongch@xxxxxxxxxx>
Under memory pressure we observe load issues with module vhost_net, as the
vhost setup code will try to do an order 4 allocation for the device.
The likeliness of this issue to occur can be reduced when the statically
allocated variable "iov" in "struct vhost_virtqueue" is dynamically allocated
with exactly the required size, reducing this to an order 2 allocation.
