[PATCH] Revert "kmemleak: allow to coexist with fault injection"

[Yang Shi <yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com>]

When running ltp's oom test with kmemleak enabled, the below warning was
triggerred since kernel detects __GFP_NOFAIL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is
passed in:

The mempool_alloc_slab() clears __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM, however kmemleak has
__GFP_NOFAIL set all the time due to commit
d9570ee3bd1d4f20ce63485f5ef05663866fe6c0 ("kmemleak: allow to coexist
with fault injection").  But, it doesn't make any sense to have
__GFP_NOFAIL and ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM specified at the same time.

According to the discussion on the mailing list, the commit should be
reverted for short term solution.  Catalin Marinas would follow up with a better
solution for longer term.

The failure rate of kmemleak metadata allocation may increase in some
circumstances, but this should be expected side effect.
