[PATCH 4.19 78/93] dm cache: fix bugs when a GFP_NOWAIT allocation fails

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 13bd677a472d534bf100bab2713efc3f9e3f5978 upstream.

GFP_NOWAIT allocation can fail anytime - it doesn't wait for memory being
available and it fails if the mempool is exhausted and there is not enough
memory.

If we go down this path:
  map_bio -> mg_start -> alloc_migration -> mempool_alloc(GFP_NOWAIT)
we can see that map_bio() doesn't check the return value of mg_start(),
and the bio is leaked.

If we go down this path:
  map_bio -> mg_start -> mg_lock_writes -> alloc_prison_cell ->
  dm_bio_prison_alloc_cell_v2 -> mempool_alloc(GFP_NOWAIT) ->
  mg_lock_writes -> mg_complete
the bio is ended with an error - it is unacceptable because it could
cause filesystem corruption if the machine ran out of memory
temporarily.

Change GFP_NOWAIT to GFP_NOIO, so that the mempool code will properly
wait until memory becomes available. mempool_alloc with GFP_NOIO can't
fail, so remove the code paths that deal with allocation failure.
