KVM: use kmalloc() for small dirty bitmaps
Currently we are using vmalloc() for all dirty bitmaps even if they are small enough, say less than K bytes. We use kmalloc() if dirty bitmap size is less than or equal to PAGE_SIZE so that we can avoid vmalloc area usage for VGA. This will also make the logging start/stop faster.
