Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) 3e7ce7a187 kvfree_rcu: Replace __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL by __GFP_NORETRY
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL can spend quite a bit of time reclaiming, and this
can be wasted effort given that there is a fallback code path in case
memory allocation fails.

__GFP_NORETRY does perform some light-weight reclaim, but it will fail
under OOM conditions, allowing the fallback to be taken as an alternative
to hard-OOMing the system.

There is a four-way tradeoff that must be balanced:
    1) Minimize use of the fallback path;
    2) Avoid full-up OOM;
    3) Do a light-wait allocation request;
    4) Avoid dipping into the emergency reserves.
