Commit 0e6e847f which introduced xfs_buf_allocate_memory() function has a bug
causing the function to overestimate the number of necessary pages. The problem
is that xfs_buf_alloc() sets b_bn to -1 and thus effectively every buffer is
straddling a page boundary which causes xfs_buf_allocate_memory() to allocate
two pages and use vmalloc() for access which slows things down.
Fix the code to use correct block number.
