    Dave Jones reported fs_reclaim lockdep warnings.
    
      ============================================
      WARNING: possible recursive locking detected

    This warning is caused by commit d92a8cfc ("locking/lockdep:
    Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation") which replaced the use of
    lockdep_{set,clear}_current_reclaim_state() in __perform_reclaim()
    and lockdep_trace_alloc() in slab_pre_alloc_hook() with
    fs_reclaim_acquire()/ fs_reclaim_release().
    
    Since __kmalloc_reserve() from __alloc_skb() adds __GFP_NOMEMALLOC |
    __GFP_NOWARN to gfp_mask, and all reclaim path simply propagates
    __GFP_NOMEMALLOC, fs_reclaim_acquire() in slab_pre_alloc_hook() is
    trying to grab the 'fake' lock again when __perform_reclaim() already
    grabbed the 'fake' lock.
    
    The
    
      /* this guy won't enter reclaim */
      if ((current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
              return false;
    
    test which causes slab_pre_alloc_hook() to try to grab the 'fake' lock
    was added by commit cf40bd16 ("lockdep: annotate reclaim context
    (__GFP_NOFS)").  But that test is outdated because PF_MEMALLOC thread
    won't enter reclaim regardless of __GFP_NOMEMALLOC after commit
    341ce06f ("page allocator: calculate the alloc_flags for allocation
    only once") added the PF_MEMALLOC safeguard (
    
      /* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */
      if (p->flags & PF_MEMALLOC)
              goto nopage;
    
    in __alloc_pages_slowpath()).
    
    Thus, let's fix outdated test by removing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC test and
    allow __need_fs_reclaim() to return false.
