Version 4 of this patch.

Change notes:
1) Removed extra memset.  Didn't think kcalloc added a GFP_ZERO the way kzalloc did :)

Summary:
It was shown to me recently that systems under high load were driven very deep
into swap when tcpdump was run.  The reason this happened was because the
AF_PACKET protocol has a SET_RINGBUFFER socket option that allows the user space
application to specify how many entries an AF_PACKET socket will have and how
large each entry will be.  It seems the default setting for tcpdump is to set
the ring buffer to 32 entries of 64 Kb each, which implies 32 order 5
allocation.  Thats difficult under good circumstances, and horrid under memory
pressure.

I thought it would be good to make that a bit more usable.  I was going to do a
simple conversion of the ring buffer from contigous pages to iovecs, but
unfortunately, the metadata which AF_PACKET places in these buffers can easily
span a page boundary, and given that these buffers get mapped into user space,
and the data layout doesn't easily allow for a change to padding between frames
to avoid that, a simple iovec change is just going to break user space ABI
consistency.

So I've done this, I've added a three tiered mechanism to the af_packet set_ring
socket option.  It attempts to allocate memory in the following order:

1) Using __get_free_pages with GFP_NORETRY set, so as to fail quickly without
digging into swap

2) Using vmalloc

3) Using __get_free_pages with GFP_NORETRY clear, causing us to try as hard as
needed to get the memory

The effect is that we don't disturb the system as much when we're under load,
while still being able to conduct tcpdumps effectively.

Tested successfully by me.
