mm, vmscan: Do not wait for page writeback for GFP_NOFS allocations
ecf5fc6 
Nikolay has reported a hang when a memcg reclaim got stuck with the
following backtrace:

Dave Chinner has properly pointed out that this is a deadlock in the
reclaim code because ext4 doesn't submit pages which are marked by
PG_writeback right away.

The heuristic was introduced by commit e62e384 ("memcg: prevent OOM
with too many dirty pages") and it was applied only when may_enter_fs
was specified.  The code has been changed by c3b94f4 ("memcg:
further prevent OOM with too many dirty pages") which has removed the
__GFP_FS restriction with a reasoning that we do not get into the fs
code.  But this is not sufficient apparently because the fs doesn't
necessarily submit pages marked PG_writeback for IO right away.

ext4_bio_write_page calls io_submit_add_bh but that doesn't necessarily
submit the bio.  Instead it tries to map more pages into the bio and
mpage_map_one_extent might trigger memcg charge which might end up
waiting on a page which is marked PG_writeback but hasn't been submitted
yet so we would end up waiting for something that never finishes.

Fix this issue by replacing __GFP_IO by may_enter_fs check (for case 2)
before we go to wait on the writeback.  The page fault path, which is
the only path that triggers memcg oom killer since 3.12, shouldn't
require GFP_NOFS and so we shouldn't reintroduce the premature OOM
killer issue which was originally addressed by the heuristic.

As per David Chinner the xfs is doing similar thing since 2.6.15 already
so ext4 is not the only affected filesystem.  Moreover he notes:

: For example: IO completion might require unwritten extent conversion
: which executes filesystem transactions and GFP_NOFS allocations. The
: writeback flag on the pages can not be cleared until unwritten
: extent conversion completes. Hence memory reclaim cannot wait on
: page writeback to complete in GFP_NOFS context because it is not
: safe to do so, memcg reclaim or otherwise.

PM / domains: fix lockdep issue for all subdomains
0106ef5 
During genpd_poweron, genpd->lock is acquired recursively for each
parent (master) domain, which are separate objects. This confuses
lockdep, which considers every operation on genpd->lock as being done on
the same lock class. This leads to the following false positive warning:

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]

---------------------------------------------
swapper/0/1 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:
 (&genpd->lock){+.+...}, at: [<c0361af8>] genpd_dev_pm_attach+0x168/0x1b8

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&genpd->lock);
  lock(&genpd->lock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation

This patch replaces mutex_lock with mutex_lock_nested() and uses
recursion depth to annotate each genpd->lock operation with separate
lockdep subclass.
