nios2 uses kmalloc() to implement module_alloc() because CALL26/PCREL26
cannot reach all of vmalloc address space.

Define module space as 32MiB below the kernel base and switch nios2 to
use vmalloc for module allocations.

I wonder if the (size == 0) check is really needed, but
__vmalloc_node_range() will WARN on this case where the old code won't.

module_alloc() should not be called with zero size, so a warning there
would be appropriate.
Besides, no other module_alloc() had this check.
