[Nouveau] [PATCH] drm/nouveau: fix command submission to use vmalloc for big allocations

I was getting a order 4 allocation failure from kmalloc when testing some game
after a few days uptime with some suspend/resumes. For big allocations vmalloc
should be used instead.

Also limit size more aggressively to 256 KiB.
