3.8.13.20 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me
know.
------------------
From: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprow...@samsung.com>
commit c091c71ad2218fc50a07b3d1dab85783f3b77efd upstream.
GFP_ATOMIC is not a single gfp flag, but a macro which expands to the other
flags, where meaningful is the LACK of __GFP_WAIT flag. To check if caller
wants to perform an atomic allocation, the code must test for a lack of the
__GFP_WAIT flag. This patch fixes the issue introduced in v3.5-rc1.
