Hi Christoph, Dave,

I got this lockdep warning on XFS when running the xfs tests:

Bug in vm_map_ram - it does an unconditional GFP_KERNEL allocation
here, and we are in a GFP_NOFS context. We can't pass a gfp_mask to
vm_map_ram(), so until vm_map_ram() grows that we can't fix it...
This trivial patch should fix it.

The only behavior change is the XFS part:

Does that look fine to you?

Thanks,
Fengguang
