[PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/6] kvfree_rcu: Use __GFP_NOMEMALLOC for single-argument kvfree_rcu()

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

This commit applies the __GFP_NOMEMALLOC gfp flag to memory allocations
carried out by the single-argument variant of kvfree_rcu(), thus avoiding
this can-sleep code path from dipping into the emergency reserves.
