mm: mark mas allocation in vms_abort_munmap_vmas as __GFP_NOFAIL

vms_abort_munmap_vmas() is a recovery path where, on entry, some VMAs have
already been torn down halfway (in a way we can't undo) but are still
present in the maple tree.

At this point, we *must* remove the VMAs from the VMA tree, otherwise we
get UAF.

Because removing VMA tree nodes can require memory allocation, the
existing code has an error path which tries to handle this by reattaching
the VMAs; but that can't be done safely.

A nicer way to fix it would probably be to preallocate enough maple tree
nodes for the removal before the point of no return, or something like
that; but for now, fix it the easy and kinda ugly way, by marking this
allocation __GFP_NOFAIL.
