[PATCH 3.16 113/134] lockdep: teach lockdep about memalloc_noio_save

commit 6d7225f0cc1a1fc32cf5dd01b4ab4b8a34c7cdb4 upstream.

Patch series "scope GFP_NOFS api", v5.

This patch (of 7):

Commit 21caf2fc1931 ("mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O
during memory allocation") added the memalloc_noio_(save|restore)
functions to enable people to modify the MM behavior by disabling I/O
during memory allocation.

This was further extended in commit 934f3072c17c ("mm: clear __GFP_FS
when PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO is set").

memalloc_noio_* functions prevent allocation paths recursing back into
the filesystem without explicitly changing the flags for every
allocation site.

However, lockdep hasn't been keeping up with the changes and it entirely
misses handling the memalloc_noio adjustments. Instead, it is left to
the callers of __lockdep_trace_alloc to call the function after they
have shaven the respective GFP flags which can lead to false positives:

Let's fix this by making lockdep explicitly do the shaving of respective
GFP flags.
