ublk: use vmalloc for ublk_device's __queues

struct ublk_device's __queues points to an allocation with up to
UBLK_MAX_NR_QUEUES (4096) queues, each of which have:
- struct ublk_queue (48 bytes)
- Tail array of up to UBLK_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH (4096) struct ublk_io's,
  32 bytes each
This means the full allocation can exceed 512 MB, which may well be
impossible to service with contiguous physical pages. Switch to
kvcalloc() and kvfree(), since there is no need for physically
contiguous memory.
