Breno and Josef report a deadlock scenario from cgroup reclaim

This is caused by the mem_cgroup_handle_over_high() not respecting the
gfp_mask of the allocation context. We used to only call this function on
resume to userspace, where no locks were held. But c9afe31ec443 ("memcg:
synchronously enforce memory.high for large overcharges") added a call
from the allocation context without considering the gfp.
