Revert Disable direct reclaim for z_wr_* threads
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This commit used PF_MEMALLOC to prevent a memory reclaim deadlock.
However, commit 49be0cc eliminated
the invocation of __cv_init(), which was the cause of the deadlock.
PF_MEMALLOC has the side effect of permitting pages from ZONE_DMA
to be allocated.  The use of PF_MEMALLOC was found to cause stability
problems when doing swap on zvols. Since this technique is known to
cause problems and no longer fixes anything, we revert it.
