3.16.7-ckt5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

------------------

From: Kent Overstreet <[email protected]>

commit bcf090e0040e30f8409e6a535a01e6473afb096f upstream.

this was very wrong - mempool_alloc() only guarantees success with GFP_WAIT.
bcache uses GFP_NOWAIT in various other places where we have a fallback,
circuits must've gotten crossed when writing this code or something.
