virtiofs: use GFP_NOFS when enqueuing request through kworker

When invoking virtio_fs_enqueue_req() through kworker, both the
allocation of the sg array and the bounce buffer still use GFP_ATOMIC.
Considering the size of the sg array may be greater than PAGE_SIZE, use
GFP_NOFS instead of GFP_ATOMIC to lower the possibility of memory
allocation failure and to avoid unnecessarily depleting the atomic
reserves. GFP_NOFS is not passed to virtio_fs_enqueue_req() directly,
GFP_KERNEL and memalloc_nofs_{save|restore} helpers are used instead.

It may seem OK to pass GFP_NOFS to virtio_fs_enqueue_req() as well when
queuing the request for the first time, but this is not the case. The
reason is that fuse_request_queue_background() may call
->queue_request_and_unlock() while holding fc->bg_lock, which is a
spin-lock. Therefore, still use GFP_ATOMIC for it.
