Subject: [PATCH v3] pvcalls-front: Avoid __get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL) under spinlock

The problem is that we call this with a spin lock held.
The call tree is:
pvcalls_front_accept() holds bedata->socket_lock.
-> create_active()
-> __get_free_pages() uses GFP_KERNEL

The create_active() function is only called from pvcalls_front_accept()
with a spin_lock held, The allocation is not allowed to sleep and
GFP_KERNEL is not sufficient.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

v2: Add a function doing the allocations which is called
outside the lock and passing the allocated data to
create_active().
v3: Use the matching deallocators i.e., free_page()
and free_pages(), respectively.

This is not necessary.

Why not just alloc_active_ring(map)?

Yes, I think it would be better to pre-populate map (struct
sock_mapping), rather than introducing one more new struct (struct
sock_mapping_active_ring).
