[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] mm/mmu_notifier: Mark up direct reclaim paths with MAYFAIL

[Chris Wilson]

When direct reclaim enters the shrinker and tries to reclaim pages, it
has to opportunitically unmap them [try_to_unmap_one]. For direct
reclaim, the calling context is unknown and may include attempts to
unmap one page of a dma object while attempting to allocate more pages
for that object. Pass the information along that we are inside an
opportunistic unmap that can allow that page to remain referenced and
mapped, and let the callback opt in to avoiding a recursive wait.
