[PATCH] pstore/zone: Use GFP_ATOMIC to allocate zone buffer

From: Qiujun Huang
Date: Sun Sep 04 2022 - 11:17:42 EST


There is a case found when triggering a panic_on_oom, pstore fails to dump
kmsg. Because psz_kmsg_write_record can't get the new buffer.

Handle this by using GFP_ATOMIC to allocate a buffer at lower watermark.
