Single-argument kvfree_rcu() must be invoked from sleepable contexts, so we can directly allocate pages. Furthermmore, the fallback in case of page-allocation failure is the high-latency synchronize_rcu(), so it makes sense to do these page allocations from the fastpath, and even to permit limited sleeping within the allocator. This commit therefore allocates if needed on the fastpath using GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL. This also has the beneficial effect of leaving kvfree_rcu()'s per-CPU caches to the double-argument variant of kvfree_rcu(), given that the double-argument variant cannot directly invoke the allocator.
