Commit 12ffc3b1513e ("PM: Restrict swap use to later in the suspend
sequence") incorrectly removed a pm_restrict_gfp_mask() call from
hibernation_snapshot(), so memory allocations involving swap are not
prevented from being carried out in this code path any more which may
lead to serious breakage.

This commit introduced regression: now I see WARNING every time when
I hibernate. The bug reproduces both on real hardware and in Qemu.
Here is script I used to reproduce this bug in Qemu:

Here is resulting log (dmesg) on current master (43e9ad0c55a3):

On real hardware exactly same thing happens (i. e. WARNING at kernel/power/main.c:48 pm_restrict_gfp_mask).
Thanks for the report, and especially for the simple reproducer!
This is pretty similar to the problem we had with hybrid sleep. [1]
