5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 1ce7d306ea63f3e379557c79abd88052e0483813 ]
struct veth_rq is pretty large, 832B total without debug
options enabled. Since commit under Fixes we try to pre-allocate
enough queues for every possible CPU. Miao Wang reports that
this may lead to order-5 allocations which will fail in production.
Let the allocation fallback to vmalloc() and try harder.
These are the same flags we pass to netdev queue allocation.
