From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@xxxxxxx>
Subject: netvm: set PF_MEMALLOC as appropriate during SKB processing

In order to make sure pfmemalloc packets receive all memory needed to
proceed, ensure processing of pfmemalloc SKBs happens under PF_MEMALLOC. 
This is limited to a subset of protocols that are expected to be used for
writing to swap.  Taps are not allowed to use PF_MEMALLOC as these are
expected to communicate with userspace processes which could be paged out.
