Use vmalloc rather than alloc_pages to avoid wasting memory.
The problem is that tnode structure has a power of 2 sized array,
plus a header. So the current code wastes almost half the memory
allocated because it always needs the next bigger size to hold
that small header.
This is similar to an earlier patch by Eric, but instead of a list
and lock, I used a workqueue to handle the fact that vfree can't
be done in interrupt context.
