This patch doesn't affect runtime because all the callers pass GFP_KERNEL
as the allocation flags. However, it should use the passed in "gfp" as
the allocation flags.
Fixes: 0ee931c4e31a ("mm: treewide: remove GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag")

Please, Cc Kees Cook as he stepped in as a maintainer of this in particular.
