Paul reports [1] lockdep splat HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected. Kernel test robot reports [2] BUG:sleeping_function_called_from_invalid_context_at_mm/page_alloc.c
The stack trace might be saved from contexts where we can't block so GFP_KERNEL is unsafe. So Use GFP_NOWAIT. Under memory pressure we might thus fail to save some new unique stack, but that should be extremely rare.
