[PATCH] mm/memory-failure: allow memory allocation from emergency reserves

[Rui Qi]

From: Rui Qi <qirui.001@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

we hope that memory errors can be successfully handled quickly, using
__GFP_MEMALLOC can help us improve the success rate of processing
under memory pressure, because to_kill struct is freed very quickly,
so using __GFP_MEMALLOC will not exacerbate memory pressure for a long time,
and  more memory will be freed after killed task exiting, which will also
reduce memory pressure.
