[patch 089/158] mm/vmalloc: respect passed gfp_mask when doing preloading

[akpm]

From: "Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" <urezki@gmail.com>
Subject: mm/vmalloc: respect passed gfp_mask when doing preloading

Allocation functions should comply with the given gfp_mask as much as
possible.  The preallocation code in alloc_vmap_area doesn't follow that
pattern and it is using a hardcoded GFP_KERNEL.  Although this doesn't
really make much difference because vmalloc is not GFP_NOWAIT compliant in
general (e.g.  page table allocations are GFP_KERNEL) there is no reason
to spread that bad habit and it is good to fix the antipattern.
