mm: try harder to allocate vmemmap blocks

Hot-adding memory on x86_64 normally requires huge page allocation.
When this is done to a VM guest, it's usually because the system is
already tight on memory, so the request tends to fail.  Try to avoid
this by adding __GFP_REPEAT to the allocation flags.
