open code mpage_alloc in it's two callers and simplify the results
because of the context:
- __mpage_writepage always passes GFP_NOFS and can thus always sleep and
will never get a NULL return from bio_alloc at all.
- do_mpage_readpage can only get a non-sleeping context for readahead
which never sets PF_MEMALLOC and thus doesn't need the retry loop
either.
Both cases will never have __GFP_HIGH set.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
