dm cache mq: fix memory allocation failure for large cache devices

The memory allocated for the multiqueue policy's hash table doesn't need
to be physically contiguous.  Use vzalloc() instead of kzalloc().
Fedora has been carrying this fix since 10/10/2013.

Failure seen during creation of a 10TB cached device with a 2048 sector
block size and 411GB cache size:
