netlink: do not enter direct reclaim from netlink_trim()
In commit d35c99ff77ecb ("netlink: do not enter direct reclaim from netlink_dump()") we made sure to not trigger expensive memory reclaim. Problem is that a bit later, netlink_trim() might be called and trigger memory reclaim. netlink_trim() should be best effort, and really as fast as possible. Under memory pressure, it is fine to not trim this skb. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
