Subject: [PATCH] raid5: remove gfp flags from scribble_alloc()
Git-commit: ba54d4d4d2844c234f1b4692bd8c9e0f833c8a54
Patch-mainline: v5.8-rc1
References: bsc#1166985

Using GFP_NOIO flag to call scribble_alloc() from resize_chunk() does
not have the expected behavior. kvmalloc_array() inside scribble_alloc()
which receives the GFP_NOIO flag will eventually call kmalloc_node() to
allocate physically continuous pages.

Now we have memalloc scope APIs in mddev_suspend()/mddev_resume() to
prevent memory reclaim I/Os during raid array suspend context, calling
to kvmalloc_array() with GFP_KERNEL flag may avoid deadlock of recursive
I/O as expected.

This patch removes the useless gfp flags from parameters list of
scribble_alloc(), and call kvmalloc_array() with GFP_KERNEL flag. The
incorrect GFP_NOIO flag does not exist anymore.

(Coly Li: to avoid kabi breaking by adding noio_flag in struct mddev,
 commit 78f57ef9d50a is not backported and I modify this patch to use
 local noio_flag variable in scribble_alloc().)
