Dima Zavin ea05c8444e mm: add a might_sleep_if() to dma_pool_alloc() ...

Buggy drivers (e.g.  fsl_udc) could call dma_pool_alloc from atomic
context with GFP_KERNEL.  In most instances, the first pool_alloc_page
call would succeed and the sleeping functions would never be called.  This
allowed the buggy drivers to slip through the cracks.

Add a might_sleep_if() checking for __GFP_WAIT in flags.
