Subject: [PATCH 3.18 059/144] scsi: ->queue_rq cant sleep

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

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

[ Upstream commit 70a0f2c1898c6abf53670e55642b6e840b003892 ]

The blk-mq ->queue_rq method is always called from process context,
but might have preemption disabled.  This means we still always
have to use GFP_ATOMIC for memory allocations, and thus need to
revert part of commit 3c356bde1 ("scsi: stop passing a gfp_mask
argument down the command setup path").
