mm/pm: force GFP_NOIO during suspend/hibernation and resume
There are quite a few GFP_KERNEL memory allocations made during suspend/hibernation and resume that may cause the system to hang, because the I/O operations they depend on cannot be completed due to the underlying devices being suspended. Avoid this problem by clearing the __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS bits in gfp_allowed_mask before suspend/hibernation and restoring the original values of these bits in gfp_allowed_mask durig the subsequent resume.
