[PATCH 0/2] Export __vmalloc_node symbol

[green@linuxhacker.ru]

From: Oleg Drokin <green@linuxhacker.ru>

Looking to get rid of a deadlock in Lustre where vmalloc call recurses
right back into Lustre to free some memory due to not accepting GFP mask
I noticed that while vzalloc is replaceable with __vmalloc just as
suggested, vzalloc_node is not. Recommended __vmalloc_node symbol is
static to mm/vmalloc.c.
Hopefully nobody has any objections to me exporting it so that
vzalloc_node suggestion actually becomes possible.

Second patch in the series is just a Lustre patch to take advantage
of that newly exported symbol (as an example of usage).

Please consider.
