loli10K 7e2da7786e KMC_KVMEM disrupts kv_alloc() memory alignment expectations
On kernels with KASAN enabled the following failure can be observed as
soon as the zfs module is loaded:

  VERIFY(IS_P2ALIGNED(ptr, PAGE_SIZE)) failed
  PANIC at spl-kmem-cache.c:228:kv_alloc()

The problem is kmalloc() has never guaranteed aligned allocations; this
requirement resulted in zfsonlinux/spl@8b45dda which removed all
kmalloc() usage in kv_alloc().

Until a GFP_ALIGNED flag (or equivalent functionality) is provided by
the kernel this commit partially reverts 66955885 and 6d948c35 to
prevent k(v)malloc() allocations in kv_alloc().
