During log recovery of an XFS filesystem with 64kB directory
buffers, rebuilding a buffer split across two log records results
in a memory allocation warning from krealloc like this:
xfs filesystem being mounted at /mnt/scratch supports timestamps until 2038 (0x7fffffff)
XFS (dm-0): Unmounting Filesystem
XFS (dm-0): Mounting V5 Filesystem
XFS (dm-0): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)

Essentially, we are taking a multi-order allocation from kmem_alloc()
(which has an open coded no fail, no warn loop) and then
reallocating it out to 64kB using krealloc(__GFP_NOFAIL) and that is
then triggering the above warning.
This is a regression caused by converting this code from an open
coded no fail/no warn reallocation loop to using __GFP_NOFAIL.
What we actually need here is kvrealloc(), so that if contiguous
page allocation fails we fall back to vmalloc() and we don't
get nasty warnings happening in XFS.
