Subject: stackdepot: respect __GFP_NOLOCKDEP allocation flag
From: Andrey Ryabinin <ryabinin.a.a@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 6fe60465e1d53ea321ee909be26d97529e8f746c upstream.
If stack_depot_save_flags() allocates memory it always drops
__GFP_NOLOCKDEP flag. So when KASAN tries to track __GFP_NOLOCKDEP
allocation we may end up with lockdep splat like bellow:
