Chris Wilson 016cf65fbd drm: Require __GFP_NOFAIL for the legacy drm_modeset_lock_all
commit d18d1a5ac8 upstream.

To acquire all modeset locks requires a ww_ctx to be allocated. As this
is the legacy path and the allocation small, to reduce the changes
required (and complex untested error handling) to the legacy drivers, we
simply assume that the allocation succeeds. At present, it relies on the
too-small-to-fail rule, but syzbot found that by injecting a failure
here we would hit the WARN. Document that this allocation must succeed
with __GFP_NOFAIL.
