scsi: libsas: Introduce a _gfp() variant of event notifiers
sas_alloc_event() uses in_interrupt() to decide which allocation should be used. The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should either be separated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the caller, which usually knows the context. The in_interrupt() check is also only partially correct, because it fails to choose the correct code path when just preemption or interrupts are disabled. For example, as in the following call chain: mvsas/mv_sas.c: mvs_work_queue() [process context] spin_lock_irqsave(mvs_info::lock, ) -> libsas/sas_event.c: sas_notify_phy_event() -> sas_alloc_event() -> in_interrupt() = false -> invalid GFP_KERNEL allocation -> libsas/sas_event.c: sas_notify_port_event() -> sas_alloc_event() -> in_interrupt() = false -> invalid GFP_KERNEL allocation Introduce sas_alloc_event_gfp(), sas_notify_port_event_gfp(), and sas_notify_phy_event_gfp(), which all behave like the non _gfp() variants but use a caller-passed GFP mask for allocations. For bisectability, all callers will be modified first to pass GFP context, then the non _gfp() libsas API variants will be modified to take a gfp_t by default.
