#regzbot introduced: 449c9c02537a146ac97ef962327a221e21c9cab3

This commit introduced regression: now I see WARNING every time when
I hibernate. The bug reproduces both on real hardware and in Qemu.

Here is script I used to reproduce this bug in Qemu:
https://zerobin.net/?aadae7117a208c0a#Xh8aI5+u3pyk+vKwET7j+yXolLeoSLe/AedcvnNeCLs=

Here is resulting log (dmesg) on current master (43e9ad0c55a3):
https://zerobin.net/?471d17d0632e7f85#uYne0yUu+rP4KnDbOFFqtCrcDIi6UpQz2uIQw85lcdQ=

Here is the most interesting part:

[    1.750627] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/power/main.c:48 pm_restrict_gfp_mask+0x3b/0x40

On real hardware exactly same thing happens (i. e. WARNING at kernel/power/main.c:48 pm_restrict_gfp_mask).
