[patch v2] mm, slub: ensure irqs are enabled for kmemcheck

From: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>
Date: 2012-07-09 21:00:43
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: memory management, slab allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Harry Yoo, Linus Torvalds

kmemcheck_alloc_shadow() requires irqs to be enabled, so wait to disable
them until after its called for __GFP_WAIT allocations.

This fixes a warning for such allocations:

	WARNING: at kernel/lockdep.c:2739 lockdep_trace_alloc+0x14e/0x1c0()
