Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 27/62] x86/mm: Remove in_nmi() warning from
 vmalloc_fault()

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

[ Upstream commit 6863ea0cda8725072522cd78bda332d9a0b73150 ]

It is perfectly okay to take page-faults, especially on the
vmalloc area while executing an NMI handler. Remove the
warning.
