[dm-devel] [PATCH 4/7] dm-snapshot: use GFP_KERNEL when initializing the snapshot

The list of initial exceptions is loaded in the target constructor. We are
allowed to allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL at this point. So, change
alloc_completed_exception to use GFP_KERNEL when being called from the
constructor.
