Thanks a lot David for your reply. Sending a new patch with the changes suggested by you.

- Added __pud_alloc_one() function which is similar to pud_alloc_one(), but
  accepts an additional argument of type gfp_t. The function pud_alloc_one()
  calls __pud_alloc_one().

- similar changes for pmd allocations. The newly added function name is__pmd_alloc_one.

- Similar changes for pte allocation. Added function __pte_alloc_one_kernel.

- changes help in fixing the Bug 30702
