Mikulas Patocka 4c52f00134 dm: allocate buffer for messages with small number of arguments using GFP_NOIO
commit f36afb3957 upstream.

dm-mpath and dm-thin must process messages even if some device is
suspended, so we allocate argv buffer with GFP_NOIO. These messages have
a small fixed number of arguments.

On the other hand, dm-switch needs to process bulk data using messages
so excessive use of GFP_NOIO could cause trouble.

The patch also lowers the default number of arguments from 64 to 8, so
that there is smaller load on GFP_NOIO allocations.
