Good suggestion! NFS already sets sk_allocation to GFP_ATOMIC in
linux/net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c <<xs_tcp_finish_connecting>>.

To fix this warning and possible recursions, I converted some
GPF_KERNEL cases to sk_allocation in the tcp/ipv4 code:

---
tcp: replace hard coded GFP_KERNEL with sk_allocation

This fixed a lockdep warning which appeared when doing stress
memory tests over NFS:

	inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage.

	mount_root => nfs_root_data => tcp_close => lock sk_lock =>
			tcp_send_fin => alloc_skb_fclone => page reclaim

	page reclaim => nfs_writepage => tcp_sendmsg => lock sk_lock
