The commit, cfc9a5c, to fix deadlocks in zpl_writepage() relied on PF_MEMALLOC. That had the effect of disabling the direct reclaim path on all allocations originating from calls to this function, but it failed to address the actual cause of those deadlocks. This led to the same deadlocks being observed with swap on zvols, but not with swap on the loop device, which exercises this code. The use of PF_MEMALLOC also had the side effect of permitting allocations to be made from ZONE_DMA in instances that did not require it. This contributes to the possibility of panics caused by depletion of pages from ZONE_DMA. As such, we revert this patch in favor of a proper fix for both issues.
