Michal Hocko a421ef3030 mm: allow !GFP_KERNEL allocations for kvmalloc
Support for GFP_NO{FS,IO} and __GFP_NOFAIL has been implemented by
previous patches so we can allow the support for kvmalloc.  This will
allow some external users to simplify or completely remove their
helpers.

GFP_NOWAIT semantic hasn't been supported so far but it hasn't been
explicitly documented so let's add a note about that.

ceph_kvmalloc is the first helper to be dropped and changed to kvmalloc.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
