    KVM guest can fail to startup with following trace on host:
    
    qemu-system-x86: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0x40d0
    Call Trace:

    Failure happens when attempting to allocate pages for
    'struct kvm_memslots', however it doesn't have to be
    present in physically contiguous (kmalloc-ed) address
    space, change allocation to kvm_kvzalloc() so that
    it will be vmalloc-ed when its size is more then a page.
