Zach Brown acafb869e7 Avoid deadlock from block reclaim in rht resize
The RCU hash table uses deferred work to resize the hash table.  There's
a time during resize when hash table iteration will return EAGAIN until
resize makes more progress.  During this time resize can perform
GFP_KERNEL allocations.

Our shrinker tries to iterate over its RCU hash table to find blocks to
reclaim.  It tries to restart iteration if it gets EAGAIN on the
assumption that it will be usable again soon.

Combine the two and our shrinker can get stuck retrying iteration
indefinitely because it's shrinking on behalf of the hash table resizing
that is trying to allocate the next table before making iteration work
again.  We have to stop shrinking in this case so that the resizing
caller can proceed.
