GFP_NOIO to allocate streams")' to stable releases.


:commit 3d5fe03a3ea013060ebba2a811aeb0f23f56aefa
:Author: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@xxxxxxxxx>
:
:    zram/zcomp: use GFP_NOIO to allocate streams
:    
:    We can end up allocating a new compression stream with GFP_KERNEL from
:    within the IO path, which may result is nested (recursive) IO
:    operations.  That can introduce problems if the IO path in question is a
:    reclaimer, holding some locks that will deadlock nested IOs.
:    
:    Allocate streams and working memory using GFP_NOIO flag, forbidding
:    recursive IO and FS operations.
