Remove the IPI fallback code from membarrier to deal with very infrequent cpumask memory allocation failure. Use GFP_KERNEL rather than GFP_NOWAIT, and relax the blocking guarantees for the expedited membarrier system call commands, allowing it to block if waiting for memory to be made available. In addition, now -ENOMEM can be returned to user-space if the cpumask memory allocation fails. Signed-off-by:
