I just did a quick test of kspp/usercopy-whitelist/lateston my arm64 machine and got some spew:

I don't think 7e7844226f10 ("lockdep: allow to disable reclaim lockup detection")
is correct after new flags are added because we will still need space
for another bit even if lockdep is disabled. That might need to
be fixed separately.
I'm really not a fan the GFP approach though since the flags tend
to be a little bit fragile to manage. If we're going to have to
add something to callsites anyway, maybe we could just have an
alternate function (kmalloc_user?) instead of a GFP flag.
