This  change was made to allow most kernel interfaces use vmalloc_node and
enable the overrides to work. It also reduces the number of kernel locations
which would need to be change if there was ever a change to the
vmalloc_node_range interface.

However, there is a pushback to overriding the vmalloc interface, so this change
will likely not show up in my final patch.
