            mm: oom analysis: add buffer cache information to show_free_areas()
    
    show_free_areas() is called during page allocation failures, and page
    allocation failures can occur in any calling context.
    
    But nr_blockdev_pages() takes VFS locks which should not be taken from
    hard IRQ context (at least).  The result is lockdep warnings (and
    deadlockability) during page allocation failures.
