At first impression, this seemed very strange because the above commit
only chenged function return value and hibernate_preallocate_memory()
ignore return value of shrink_all_memory(). But it's related.
Now, page allocation from hibernation code may enter infinite loop if the
system has highmem. The reasons are that vmscan don't care enough OOM
case when oom_killer_disabled.
If kswapd is not freozen, it would set zone->all_unreclaimable to 1 and
then shrink_zones maybe return true(ie, all_unreclaimable is true). So at
last, alloc_pages could go to _nopage_. If it is, it should have no
problem.
This patch adds all_unreclaimable check to protect in direct reclaim path,
too. It can care of hibernation OOM case and help bailout
all_unreclaimable case slightly.

oom: always return a badness score of non-zero for eligible tasks
A task's badness score is roughly a proportion of its rss and swap

resolution of 0.1% of RAM + swap. Admin tasks are also given a 3% bonus,
so the badness score of an admin task using 3% of memory, for example,

It's possible that an exceptionally large number of tasks will combine to
exhaust all resources but never have a single task that uses more than
0.1% of RAM and swap (or 3.0% for admin tasks).

bdi: Fix warnings in __mark_inode_dirty for /dev/zero and friends
Inodes of devices such as /dev/zero can get dirty for example via
utime(2) syscall or due to atime update. Backing device of such inodes
(zero_bdi, etc.) is however unable to handle dirty inodes and thus
__mark_inode_dirty complains. In fact, inode should be rather dirtied
against backing device of the filesystem holding it. This is generally a
good rule except for filesystems such as 'bdev' or 'mtd_inodefs'. Inodes
in these pseudofilesystems are referenced from ordinary filesystem
inodes and carry mapping with real data of the device. Thus for these
inodes we have to use inode->i_mapping->backing_dev_info as we did so
far. We distinguish these filesystems by checking whether sb->s_bdi
points to a non-trivial backing device or not.
Example: Assume we have an ext3 filesystem on /dev/sda1 mounted on /.
There's a device inode A described by a path "/dev/sdb" on this
filesystem. This inode will be dirtied against backing device "8:0"
after this patch. bdev filesystem contains block device inode B coupled
with our inode A. When someone modifies a page of /dev/sdb, it's B that
gets dirtied and the dirtying happens against the backing device "8:16".
Thus both inodes get filed to a correct bdi list.
