In the implementation of kmalloc.
when the allocated size is larger than KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE,
it will call kmalloc_large to allocate the memory.
kmalloc_large ->
kmalloc_order_trace->kmalloc_order->alloc_pages->alloc_pages_current->alloc_pages_nodemask->get_page_from_freelist->node_reclaim->__node_reclaim->shrink_node->shrink_node_memcg->get_scan_count

get_scan_count will call spin_unlock_irq which enables local interrupt.
As the local interrupt should be disabled in the interrupt handler.
It is safe to use kmalloc to allocate a large size of memory in
interrupt handler?
