dm: get rid of GFP_NOIO workarounds for __vmalloc and kvmalloc

In the past, the function __vmalloc didn't respect the GFP flags - it
allocated memory with the provided gfp flags, but it allocated page tables
with GFP_KERNEL. This was fixed in commit 451769ebb7e7 ("mm/vmalloc:
alloc GFP_NO{FS,IO} for vmalloc") so the memalloc_noio_{save,restore}
workaround is no longer needed.

The function kvmalloc didn't like flags different from GFP_KERNEL. This
was fixed in commit a421ef303008 ("mm: allow !GFP_KERNEL allocations
for kvmalloc"), so kvmalloc can now be called with GFP_NOIO.
