Shakeel Butt 3d0cbb9816 memcg: enable memcg oom-kill for __GFP_NOFAIL 
In the era of async memcg oom-killer, the commit a0d8b00a33 ("mm: memcg:
do not declare OOM from __GFP_NOFAIL allocations") added the code to skip
memcg oom-killer for __GFP_NOFAIL allocations.  The reason was that the
__GFP_NOFAIL callers will not enter aync oom synchronization path and will
keep the task marked as in memcg oom.  At that time the tasks marked in
memcg oom can bypass the memcg limits and the oom synchronization would
have happened later in the later userspace triggered page fault.  Thus
letting the task marked as under memcg oom bypass the memcg limit for
arbitrary time.

With the synchronous memcg oom-killer (commit 29ef680ae7 ("memcg, oom:
move out_of_memory back to the charge path")) and not letting the task
marked under memcg oom to bypass the memcg limits (commit 1f14c1ac19
("mm: memcg: do not allow task about to OOM kill to bypass the limit")),
we can again allow __GFP_NOFAIL allocations to trigger memcg oom-kill.
This will make memcg oom behavior closer to page allocator oom behavior.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
