mlx4: allow order-0 memory allocations in RX path
Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> mlx4 exclusively uses order-2 allocations in RX path, which are likely to fail under memory pressure. We therefore drop frames more than needed. This patch tries order-3, order-2, order-1 and finally order-0 allocations to keep good performance, yet allow allocations if/when memory gets fragmented. By using larger pages, and avoiding unnecessary get_page()/put_page() on compound pages, this patch improves performance as well, lowering false sharing on struct page. Also use GFP_KERNEL allocations in initialization path, as allocating 12 MB (390 order-3 pages) can easily fail with GFP_ATOMIC.
