[PATCH 1/2] arm64: Workaround renaming of __GFP_WAIT

The imminent renaming of __GFP_WAIT in the mm tree conflicts with its
use in the new IOMMU DMA ops; introduce a temporary local version of
its replacement to smooth over the transition.

This patch should be reverted at 4.4-rc1.

Sudeep points out that there are pending changes in -next touching arm64
which I hadn't spotted, which end up breaking the build when merged with
my changes in the IOMMU tree. Catalin, would you mind acking these fixes
so that Joerg can carry them? We should be able to send the revert through
arm64 once the dust has settled.

Thanks,
Robin.
