Out of memory and no killable processes...
Kernel panic - not syncing: System is deadlocked on memory

An OoM panic was reported. The log shows there were only native
processes which are non-killable as OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN. After looking
into the dump, I've found the dma-buf system heap was trying to allocate
a huge size. It seems to be a signed negative value.

dma_heap_ioctl_allocate(inline)
    |  heap_allocation = 0xFFFFFFC02247BD38 -> (
    |    len = 0xFFFFFFFFE7225100,

To avoid this invalid request, check if the requested size is bigger
than system total memory. Actually the old ion system heap had similar
policy with commit c9e8440eca61 ("staging: ion: Fix overflow and list
bugs in system heap").

Even with this sanity check, there is still risk of too much allocations
from the system_heap. Allocating multiple big size buffers may cause
oom. Add __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL. With this gfp, the allocation may fail,
but we can avoid oom panic.
