[PATCHv2] io_uring: avoid page allocation warnings

In io_sqe_buffer_register() we allocate a number of arrays based on the
iov_len from the user-provided iov. While we limit iov_len to SZ_1G,
we can still attempt to allocate arrays exceeding MAX_ORDER.

On a 64-bit system with 4KiB pages, for an iov where iov_base = 0x10 and
iov_len = SZ_1G, we'll calculate that nr_pages = 262145. When we try to
allocate a corresponding array of (16-byte) bio_vecs, requiring 4194320
bytes, which is greater than 4MiB. This results in SLUB warning that
we're trying to allocate greater than MAX_ORDER, and failing the
allocation.

Avoid this by using kvmalloc() for allocations dependent on the
user-provided iov_len. At the same time, fix a leak of imu->bvec when
registration fails.

Full splat from before this patch:

Since v1:
* Use kvmalloc/kvfree
* Free imu->bvec in case of error (per Jens)

Applied, thanks.
