Subject: [PATCH 040/115] gpu: ion: Fix lockdep issue in ion_page_pool

From: Rebecca Schultz Zavin <rebecca@...roid.com>

Currently the mutex is held while kmalloc is called, under a low memory
condition this might trigger the shrinker which also takes this mutex.
Refactor so the mutex is not held during allocation.
