Subject: [locking bug] inotify: inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} ->
	{IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage.


Nick, Peter,

the new __GFP_NOFS tracking in -tip [cf40bd1: "lockdep: annotate reclaim 
context (__GFP_NOFS)"] turned up this new lockdep assert on two (32-bit) 
testboxes:

Looks like a genuine upstream bug to me: inotify_handle_get_wd() does 
idr_pre_get() which does a kmem_cache_alloc() without GFP_FS - and is 
hence deadlockable under extreme MM pressure.

Something like the patch below should be enough to fix it, right?
