[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm: Require __GFP_NOFAIL for the legacy drm_modeset_lock_all

> To acquire all modeset locks requires a ww_ctx to be allocated. As this
> is the legacy path and the allocation small, to reduce the changes
> required (and complex untested error handling) to the legacy drivers, we
> simply assume that the allocation succeeds. At present, it relies on the
> too-small-to-fail rule, but syzbot found that by injecting a failure
> here we would hit the WARN. Document that this allocation must succeed
> with __GFP_NOFAIL.
