From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 9402e959014a18b4ebf7558733076875808dd66c upstream. GFP_KERNEL is not supposed to be or'd with GFP_NOFS (the result is equivalent to GFP_KERNEL). Also, we use GFP_NOIO instead of GFP_NOFS because we don't want any I/O being submitted in the direct reclaim path.
