Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Allow internal page allocations to fail
Git-commit: ee2202d73b4c9977ce0120fc8631a1c90bfbd77c
Patch-mainline: v4.16-rc1
References: FATE#322643 bsc#1055900

Internal objects consistent of scratch pages not subject to the
persistence guarantees of user facing objects. They are used for
example, in ring buffers where they are only required for temporary
storage of commands that will be rewritten every time. As they are
temporary constructs, quietly report -ENOMEM back along the callchain
rather than subject the system to oomkiller if an allocation fails.
