4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org>
commit 476accbe2f6ef69caeebe99f52a286e12ac35aee upstream.
There is a strange __GFP_NOMEMALLOC usage pattern in SELinux, specifically GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOMEMALLOC which doesn't make much sense. GFP_ATOMIC on its own allows to access memory reserves while __GFP_NOMEMALLOC dictates we cannot use memory reserves. Replace this with the much more sane GFP_NOWAIT in the AVC code as we can tolerate memory allocation failures in that code.
