That's easy. It's sufficient to do WARN_ON(saved_gfp_mask) at the beginning
of pm_restrict_gfp_mask(). This also takes care of the "forget to restore"
case to some extent, because pm_restrict_gfp_mask() will generally be only
called twice in a row if there's a missing pm_restore_gfp_mask() in between.

This is kind of difficult in general. You can't detect a missing
pm_restore_gfp_mask() other than by checking if pm_restrict_gfp_mask() is not
called twice in a row IMHO.

Yes, it will.

Well ...
