io_uring: use GFP_NOWAIT for overflow CQEs on legacy rings

Browse source

[ Upstream commit fc5ff25009 ]

Allocate the overflowing CQE with GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC. This
changes causes allocations to fail earlier in out-of-memory situations,
rather than being deferred. Using GFP_ATOMIC allows a process to exceed
memory limits.
