Oh, and BTW --- now that checkpatch.pl now flags an warning whenever
GFP_NOFAIL is used, because it is deprecated, patches that convert a
loop to use GFP_NOFAIL will get flagged with checkpatch, and this will
also incentivize people writing new code and who can't find any other
way to deal with an allocation failure to simply open code the loop...
