if a PF has 256 or more VFs, ip link command will allocate a order 3
memory and maybe trigger OOM due to memory fragement, rtnl_vfinfo_size
is used to compute the VFs needed memory size

so using alloc_large_skb in which vmalloc is used for large memory,
to avoid the failure of allocating memory

    ip invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0xc2cc0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOWARN|\
	__GFP_COMP|__GFP_NOMEMALLOC), order=3, oom_score_adj=0
