Subject: [PATCH 5.15 138/277] NFS: nfsiod should not block forever in mempool_alloc()

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@...merspace.com>

[ Upstream commit 515dcdcd48736576c6f5c197814da6f81c60a21e ]

The concern is that since nfsiod is sometimes required to kick off a
commit, it can get locked up waiting forever in mempool_alloc() instead
of failing gracefully and leaving the commit until later.

Try to allocate from the slab first, with GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY,
then fall back to a non-blocking attempt to allocate from the memory
pool.
