The capture code is typically run entirely in the fence signalling
critical path. Recently added lockdep annotation reveals a lockdep splat
similar to the below one.
Fix the splats and the associated potential deadlocks using GFP_NOWAIT
rather than GFP_KERNEL for memory allocation in the capture path. This
has the potential drawback that capture might fail in situations with
memory pressure.
Reliably being able to use GFP_KERNEL allocations during capture might
require that we pin all relevant vmas first, then reset and retire the
request, and finally capture and unpin.
