The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: don't spin in add_stack_record when gfp flags don't allow has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-dont-spin-in-add_stack_record-when-gfp-flags-dont-allow.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

syzbot was able to find the following path: add_stack_record_to_list mm/page_owner.c:182 [inline] inc_stack_record_count mm/page_owner.c:214 [inline] __set_page_owner+0x2c3/0x4a0 mm/page_owner.c:333 set_page_owner include/linux/page_owner.h:32 [inline] post_alloc_hook+0x240/0x2a0 mm/page_alloc.c:1851 prep_new_page mm/page_alloc.c:1859 [inline] get_page_from_freelist+0x21e4/0x22c0 mm/page_alloc.c:3858 alloc_pages_nolock_noprof+0x94/0x120 mm/page_alloc.c:7554

Don't spin in add_stack_record_to_list() when it is called from *_nolock() context.
