The kcalloc() in nouveau_dmem_evict_chunk() will return null if
the physical memory has run out. As a result, if we dereference
src_pfns, dst_pfns or dma_addrs, the null pointer dereference bugs
will happen.

Moreover, the GPU is going away. If the kcalloc() fails, we could not
evict all pages mapping a chunk. So this patch adds a __GFP_NOFAIL
flag in kcalloc().

Hi Duoming,

thanks for sending a V2.

I think we should also switch to kvcalloc(), AFAICS we don't need 
physically contiguous memory.

Sorry I did not mention that in V1 already.
