Subject: [PATCH 6/8] vrange: Add GFP_NO_VRANGE allocation flag

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@...nel.org>

In cloning the vroot tree during a fork, we have to
allocate memory while hold the vroot lock. This is problematic,
as the memory allocation can trigger reclaim, which might require
grabbing a vroot lock in order to find purgable pages.

Thus this patch introduces GFP_NO_VRANGE which will allow
us to avoid having a allocation for vrange to trigger any
volatile range purging.

XXX: We're not yet using this flag in the later purge paths, so
we still get the lockdep warnings.
