Subject: x86-64: fall back to regular page vmemmap on allocation failure

Memory hotplug can happen on a machine under load, memory shortness
and fragmentation, so huge page allocations for the vmemmap are not
guaranteed to succeed.

Try to fall back to regular pages before failing the hotplug event
completely.
