Subject: [PATCH 4.7 67/69] mm/kasan: dont reduce quarantine in atomic contexts

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@...tuozzo.com>

commit 4b3ec5a3f4b1d5c9d64b9ab704042400d050d432 upstream.

Currently we call quarantine_reduce() for ___GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM (implied
by __GFP_RECLAIM) allocation.  So, basically we call it on almost every
allocation.  quarantine_reduce() sometimes is heavy operation, and
calling it with disabled interrupts may trigger hard LOCKUP:

 NMI watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 2irq event stamp: 1411258

Reduce the quarantine_reduce iff direct reclaim is allowed.
