Commit b520c4e ("block: split bio_alloc_bioset more clearly into a fast and slowpath") prevents non-blocking allocations from falling back to mempool_alloc() after the initial slab allocation has failed. This was based on the assumption that mempool_alloc() would simply retry the slab and fail again (for non-block). However, mempool_alloc() also attempts to dip into the pool reserves, even for non-blocking requests, and this option is no longer available after adding the early fail. This was noticed through the SCSI generic module which calls blk_rq_map_user_io() with GFP_ATOMIC. Remove the check to allow mempool reserves to be used for non-blocking requests, restoring the previous behavior.
