From: Thomas Gleixner <t...@linutronix.de> There is no reason to keep preemption disabled in this function.
We only have two other threads live: kthreadd and idle. Neither of them is going to preempt. But that preempt_disable forces all the code inside to do GFP_ATOMIC allocations which is just insane. Remove it.
