Extend __kvmalloc_node_noprof() to handle non-blocking GFP flags (GFP_NOWAIT and GFP_ATOMIC). Previously such flags were rejected, returning NULL. With this change: - kvmalloc() can fall back to vmalloc() if non-blocking contexts; - for non-blocking allocations the VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP option is disabled, since the huge mapping path still contains might_sleep(); - documentation update to reflect that GFP_NOWAIT and GFP_ATOMIC are now supported.

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 reStructuredText 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.
