GFP_KERNEL/GFP_DMA can't be used under a spin lock, according the
comment of els_ios_lock, it's used to protect els ios list, so we
can move down the spin lock to avoid using this flag under the lock.

If the els pointer is NULL you will lock the spinlock and disable the interrupts
for no reason, maybe you can just protect the list_add_tail()?

+spin_lock_irqsave(&node->els_ios_lock, flags);
 list_add_tail(&els->list_entry, &node->els_ios_list);
+spin_unlock_irqrestore(&node->els_ios_lock, flags);

Yes, it's better, I will send a v2 later.
