[PATCH] powerpc: don't pass GFP_WAIT to kmalloc() from *_maybe_bootmem()

From: Pekka J Enberg

From: Pekka Enberg <penberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

As slab is initialized much earlier now, we must not pass GFP_WAIT to kmalloc()
from *_maybe_bootmem() functions; otherwise slab allocators will enable
interrupts.

Ben, while we're discussing the slab side of things, can we go ahead and
merge this one? It should fix plenty of cases for powerpc.
