        mm: oom analysis: add buffer cache information to show_free_areas()
    

show_free_areas() is called during page allocation failures, and page
allocation failures can occur in any calling context.

But nr_blockdev_pages() takes VFS locks which should not be taken from
hard IRQ context (at least).  The result is lockdep warnings (and
deadlockability) during page allocation failures.
