[ Upstream commit ba54d4d4d2844c234f1b4692bd8c9e0f833c8a54 ]
Using GFP_NOIO flag to call scribble_alloc() from resize_chunk() does
not have the expected behavior. kvmalloc_array() inside scribble_alloc()
which receives the GFP_NOIO flag will eventually call kmalloc_node() to
allocate physically continuous pages.
Now we have memalloc scope APIs in mddev_suspend()/mddev_resume() to
prevent memory reclaim I/Os during raid array suspend context, calling
to kvmalloc_array() with GFP_KERNEL flag may avoid deadlock of recursive
I/O as expected.
This patch removes the useless gfp flags from parameters list of
scribble_alloc(), and call kvmalloc_array() with GFP_KERNEL flag. The
incorrect GFP_NOIO flag does not exist anymore.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
