dm thin: allocate the cell_sort_array dynamically
commit a822c83e47d97cdef38c4352e1ef62d9f46cfe98 upstream. Given the pool's cell_sort_array holds 8192 pointers it triggers an order 5 allocation via kmalloc. This order 5 allocation is prone to failure as system memory gets more fragmented over time. Fix this by allocating the cell_sort_array using vmalloc.
