Please don't wrap log output, this is unreadable :/
Also, the output is from an ancient kernel and doesn't match the current
code.

Yuck that is horrible.. so if GFP_FS was set, we bail, but if GFP_FS
wasn't set, why is fs_reclaim_*() doing anything at all?
That is, __need_fd_reclaim() should return false when !GFP_FS.
