From: Dave Chinner<dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> xfsdump uses for a large buffer for extended attributes, which has a kmalloc'd shadow buffer in the kernel. This can fail after the system has been running for some time as it is a high order allocation. Add a fallback to vmalloc so that it doesn't require contiguous memory and so won't randomly fail while xfsdump is running.
