gpu: nvgpu: Give nvgpu_kalloc a less generic name
Change nvgpu_kalloc() to nvgpu_big_[mz]alloc(). This is necessary since the natural free function name for this is nvgpu_kfree() but that conflicts with nvgpu_k[mz]alloc() (implemented in a subsequent patch). This API exists becasue not all allocation sizes can be determined at compile time and in some cases sizes may vary across the system page size. Thus always using kmalloc() could lead to OOM errors due to fragmentation. But always using vmalloc() is wastful of memory for small allocations. This API tries to alleviate those problems.
