Subject: drm/ttm: Pass GFP flags in order to avoid deadlock.
From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit a91576d7916f6cce76d30303e60e1ac47cf4a76d upstream.
Commit 7dc19d5a "drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API" added
deadlock warnings that ttm_page_pool_free() and ttm_dma_page_pool_free()
are currently doing GFP_KERNEL allocation.
But these functions did not get updated to receive gfp_t argument.
This patch explicitly passes sc->gfp_mask or GFP_KERNEL to these functions,
and removes the deadlock warning.
