Yes it should. At the time when this patch was written this value was
used. Later I've removed __GFP_OTHER by 41b6167e8f74 ("mm: get rid of
__GFP_OTHER_NODE") and forgot to refresh this one. Thanks for noticing
this.

Andrew, could you fold the following in please?

Subject: [PATCH] lockdep-allow-to-disable-reclaim-lockup-detection-fix

Igor Stoppa has noticed that __GFP_NOLOCKDEP can use a lower bit. At the
time lockdep-allow-to-disable-reclaim-lockup-detection was written we
still had __GFP_OTHER_NODE but I have removed it in 41b6167e8f74 ("mm:
get rid of __GFP_OTHER_NODE") and forgot to lower the bit value.
