KVM: MMU: Don't do GFP_NOWAIT allocations
Before preempt notifiers, kvm needed to allocate memory with GFP_NOWAIT so as not to have to enable preemption and take a heavyweight exit. On oom, we'd fall back to a GFP_KERNEL allocation. With preemption notifiers, we can do a GFP_KERNEL allocation, and perform the heavyweight exit only if the kernel decides to put us to sleep. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
