xfs: xfs_mru_cache_insert() should use GFP_NOFS
xfs_mru_cache_insert() can be called from within transaction context
during block allocation like so:
write(2)
....
xfs_get_blocks
xfs_iomap_write_direct
start transaction
xfs_bmapi_write
xfs_bmapi_allocate
xfs_bmap_btalloc
xfs_bmap_btalloc_filestreams
xfs_filestream_new_ag
xfs_filestream_pick_ag
xfs_mru_cache_insert
radix_tree_preload(GFP_KERNEL)
In this case, GFP_KERNEL is incorrect and can potentially lead to
deadlocks in memory reclaim. It should use GFP_NOFS allocations to
avoid lock recursion problems.
