Subject: [PATCH 03/13] mm: Introduce __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to emergency reserves
__GFP_MEMALLOC will allow the allocation to disregard the watermarks,
much like PF_MEMALLOC. It allows one to pass along the memalloc state in
object related allocation flags as opposed to task related flags, such
as sk->sk_allocation. This removes the need for ALLOC_PFMEMALLOC as
callers using __GFP_MEMALLOC can get the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK flag which
is now enough to identify allocations related to page reclaim.
