[PATCH 074/102] xfs: using GFP_NOFS for blkdev_issue_flush

[Dave Chinner]

From: Shaohua Li <shli at kernel.org>

Upstream commit: 7582df516c93046b8d2111a780c69de77f9882fb

Issuing a block device flush request in transaction context using GFP_KERNEL
directly can cause deadlocks due to memory reclaim recursion. Use GFP_NOFS to
avoid recursion from reclaim context.
