With the ACPI NFIT 'DSM' methods, acpi can be called from IO paths.
Specifically, the DSM to clear media errors is called during writes, so
that we can provide a writes-fix-errors model.
However it is easy to imagine a scenario like:
-> write through the nvdimm driver
-> acpi allocation
-> writeback, causes more IO through the nvdimm driver
-> deadlock
Fix this by using memalloc_noio_{save,restore}, which sets the GFP_NOIO
flag for the current scope when issuing commands/IOs that are expected
to clear errors.
