ARM: 8337/1: mm: Do not invoke OOM for higher order IOMMU DMA allocations
IOMMU should be able to use single pages as well as bigger blocks, so if higher order allocations fail, we should not affect state of the system, with events such as OOM killer, but rather fall back to order 0 allocations. This patch changes the behavior of ARM IOMMU DMA allocator to use __GFP_NORETRY, which bypasses OOM invocation, for orders higher than zero and, only if that fails, fall back to normal order 0 allocation which might invoke OOM killer.
