Ilya Dryomov 10c12851a0 libceph: avoid a __vmalloc() deadlock in ceph_kvmalloc()
The vmalloc allocator doesn't fully respect the specified gfp mask:
while the actual pages are allocated as requested, the page table pages
are always allocated with GFP_KERNEL.  ceph_kvmalloc() may be called
with GFP_NOFS and GFP_NOIO (for ceph and rbd respectively), so this may
result in a deadlock.

There is no real reason for the current PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER logic,
it's just something that seemed sensible at the time (ceph_kvmalloc()
predates kvmalloc()).  kvmalloc() is smarter: in an attempt to reduce
long term fragmentation, it first tries to kmalloc non-disruptively.

Switch to kvmalloc() and set the respective PF_MEMALLOC_* flag using
the scope API to avoid the deadlock.  Note that kvmalloc() needs to be
passed GFP_KERNEL to enable the fallback.
