Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) 8da89ba18e mm/vmalloc: handle non-blocking GFP in __vmalloc_area_node()
Make __vmalloc_area_node() respect non-blocking GFP masks such as
GFP_ATOMIC and GFP_NOWAIT.

- Add memalloc_apply_gfp_scope()/memalloc_restore_scope()
  helpers to apply a proper scope.
- Apply memalloc_apply_gfp_scope()/memalloc_restore_scope()
  around vmap_pages_range() for page table setup.
- Set "nofail" to false if a non-blocking mask is used, as
  they are mutually exclusive.

This is particularly important for page table allocations that internally
use GFP_PGTABLE_KERNEL, which may sleep unless such scope restrictions are
applied.  For example:

<snip>
__pte_alloc_kernel()
  pte_alloc_one_kernel(&init_mm);
    pagetable_alloc_noprof(GFP_PGTABLE_KERNEL & ~__GFP_HIGHMEM, 0);
<snip>

Note: in most cases, PTE entries are established only up to the level
required by current vmap space usage, meaning the page tables are
typically fully populated during the mapping process.
