Subject: [PATCH 4.9 31/39] kaiser: drop is_atomic arg to kaiser_pagetable_walk()

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@...gle.com>


I have not observed a might_sleep() warning from setup_fixmap_gdt()'s
use of kaiser_add_mapping() in our tree (why not?), but like upstream
we have not provided a way for that to pass is_atomic true down to
kaiser_pagetable_walk(), and at startup it's far from a likely source
of trouble: so just delete the walk's is_atomic arg and might_sleep().
