NFS/SUNRPC: Remove other deadlock-avoidance mechanisms in nfs_release_page()
Now that nfs_release_page() doesn't block indefinitely, other deadlock
avoidance mechanisms aren't needed.
- it doesn't hurt for kswapd to block occasionally. If it doesn't
want to block it would clear __GFP_WAIT. The current_is_kswapd()
was only added to avoid deadlocks and we have a new approach for
that.
- memory allocation in the SUNRPC layer can very rarely try to
->releasepage() a page it is trying to handle. The deadlock
is removed as nfs_release_page() doesn't block indefinitely.
So we don't need to set PF_FSTRANS for sunrpc network operations any
more.
