From: Paul Jackson <[email protected]>
It's too easy to incorrectly call cpuset_zone_allowed() in an
atomic context without __GFP_HARDWALL set, and when done, it is
not noticed until a tight memory situation forces allocations
to be tried outside the current cpuset.
Add a 'might_sleep_if()' check, to catch this earlier on, instead
of waiting for a similar check in the mutex_lock() code, which
is only rarely invoked.
