Subject: [26/71] PM / Hibernate: Make snapshot_release() restore GFP mask

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

commit 9744997a8a2280e67984d4bffd87221d24f3b6b1 upstream.

If the process using the hibernate user space interface closes
/dev/snapshot after creating a hibernation image without thawing
tasks, snapshot_release() should call pm_restore_gfp_mask() to
restore the GFP mask used before the creation of the image.  Make
that happen.
