Subject: [PATCH 4.4 33/56] x86/mm: Remove in_nmi() warning from vmalloc_fault()

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

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

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.
