Subject[PATCH v6 3/6] block/genhd.c: apply pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio on block devices
Date
This patch applyes the introduced pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio on
block device so that PM core will teach mm to not allocate memory with
GFP_IOFS when calling the runtime_resume and runtime_suspend callback
for block devices and its ancestors.

Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com>

v5:
- fix code style and one typo
v4:
- call pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio(ddev, true) after device_add
