tty: tty_io: Switch to vmalloc() fallback in case of TTY_NO_WRITE_SPLIT
When TTY_NO_WRITE_SPLIT is set and 64 KiB chunks are used, allow vmalloc() fallback. Supply __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL to make kmalloc() preferable over vmalloc() since we may want a better performance. Note, both current users copy data to another buffer anyway, so the type of our allocation doesn't affect their expectations.
