[PATCH v3 0/5] block: remove gfp_mask for blkdev_zone_mgmt()

[Johannes Thumshirn]

Fueled by the LSFMM discussion on removing GFP_NOFS initiated by Willy,
I've looked into the sole GFP_NOFS allocation in zonefs. As it turned out,
it is only done for zone management commands and can be removed.

After digging into more callers of blkdev_zone_mgmt() I came to the
conclusion that the gfp_mask parameter can be removed alltogether.

So this series switches all callers of blkdev_zone_mgmt() to either use
GFP_KERNEL where possible or grab a memalloc_no{fs,io} context.

The final patch in this series is getting rid of the gfp_mask parameter.
