virtio: force vring descriptors to be allocated from lowmem
Virtio devices may attempt to add descriptors to a virtqueue from atomic
context using GFP_ATOMIC allocation. This is problematic because such
allocations can fall outside of the lowmem mapping, causing virt_to_phys
to report bogus physical addresses which are subsequently passed to
userspace via the buffers for the virtual device.
This patch masks out __GFP_HIGH and __GFP_HIGHMEM from the requested
flags when allocating descriptors for a virtqueue. If an atomic
allocation is requested and later fails, we will return -ENOSPC which
will be handled by the driver.
