Optimize vmem_alloc() retry path

Browse Source 
For performance reasons the reworked kmem code maps vmem_alloc() to
kmalloc_node() for allocations less than spa_kmem_alloc_max.  This
allows for more concurrency in the system and less contention of
the virtual address space.  Generally, this is a good thing.

However, in the case when the kmalloc_node() fails it makes little
sense to retry it using kmalloc_node() again.  It will likely fail
in exactly the same way.  A smarter strategy is to abandon this
optimization and retry using spl_vmalloc() which is very likely
to succeed.
