KVM: use kmalloc() for small dirty bitmaps

Currently we are using vmalloc() for all dirty bitmaps even if
they are small enough, say less than K bytes.

We use kmalloc() if dirty bitmap size is less than or equal to
PAGE_SIZE so that we can avoid vmalloc area usage for VGA.

This will also make the logging start/stop faster.
