This is an abuse of the memalloc_noio_save() interface.  You shouldn't
be setting it around individual allocations; it's the part of the kernel
which decides "I can't afford to do I/O" that should be setting it.
In this case, it should probably be set by io_uring, way way way up at
the top.

But Jens didn't actually answer my question about that:
