[PATCH 040/115] gpu: ion: Fix lockdep issue in ion_page_pool

From: John Stultz
Date: Fri Dec 13 2013 - 17:41:56 EST


From: Rebecca Schultz Zavin <rebecca@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently the mutex is held while kmalloc is called, under a low memory
condition this might trigger the shrinker which also takes this mutex.
Refactor so the mutex is not held during allocation.
