pid_list_fill_irq() runs via irq_work.
When CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is disabled, it would run in irq_context.
so it shouldn't sleep while memory allocation.

Change gfp flags from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_NOWAIT to prevent sleep in
irq_work.

This change wouldn't impact functionality in practice because the worst-size
is 2K.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
