Mikulas Patocka a72986c562 dm raid1: keep retrying alloc if mempool_alloc failed
If the code can't handle allocation failures, use __GFP_NOFAIL so that
in case of memory pressure the allocator will retry indefinitely and
won't return NULL which would cause a crash in the function.

This is still not a correct fix, it may cause a classic deadlock when
memory manager waits for I/O being done and I/O waits for some free memory.
I/O code shouldn't allocate any memory. But in this case it probably
doesn't matter much in practice, people usually do not swap on RAID.
