Subject: [PATCH] mm/kmemleak: allow __GFP_NOLOCKDEP passed to kmemleak's gfp

In a memory pressure situation, I'm seeing the lockdep WARNING below.
Actually, this is similar to a known false positive which is already
addressed by commit 6dcde60efd94 ("xfs: more lockdep whackamole with
kmem_alloc*").

This warning still persists because it's not from kmalloc() itself but
from an allocation for kmemleak object. While kmalloc() itself suppress
the warning with __GFP_NOLOCKDEP, gfp_kmemleak_mask() is dropping the
flag for the kmemleak's allocation.

Allow __GFP_NOLOCKDEP to be passed to kmemleak's allocation, so that the
warning for it is also suppressed.
