Andrew Morton 9970937273 net: don't use in_atomic() in gfp_any() 
The problem is that in_atomic() will return false inside spinlocks if
CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.  This will lead to deadlockable GFP_KERNEL allocations
from spinlocked regions.

Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking
will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite.  Hence we won't get the
might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy
callsites.

Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt().  Now, if someone
runs a gfp_any() allocation from inside spinlock we will get the warning
if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

I reviewed all callsites and most of them were too complex for my little
brain and none of them documented their interface requirements.  I have no
idea what this patch will do.
