This change removes __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL|__GFP_NOWARN from the original gfp
vmemmap_alloc_block() used.
Not sure __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL is really needed in vmemmap_alloc_block_zero()
at the first place, though.

More broadly, maybe it makes sense to split boot time and memory hotplug
paths and use pxd_alloc() for the latter.

Opportunistically rename to __earlyonly_memblock_alloc()? ;-)
