ocfs2: fix a deadlock while o2net_wq doing direct memory reclaim

Browse Source 
Fix a deadlock problem caused by direct memory reclaim in o2net_wq.  The
situation is as follows:

1) Receive a connect message from another node, node queues a
   work_struct o2net_listen_work.

2) o2net_wq processes this work and call the following functions:

o2net_wq
-> o2net_accept_one
  -> sock_create_lite
    -> sock_alloc()
      -> kmem_cache_alloc with GFP_KERNEL
        -> ____cache_alloc_node
          ->__alloc_pages_nodemask
            -> do_try_to_free_pages
              -> shrink_slab
                -> evict
                  -> ocfs2_evict_inode
                    -> ocfs2_drop_lock
                      -> dlmunlock
                        -> o2net_send_message_vec

   then o2net_wq wait for the unlock reply from master.

3) tcp layer received the reply, call o2net_data_ready() and queue
   sc_rx_work, waiting o2net_wq to process this work.

4) o2net_wq is a single thread workqueue, it process the work one by
   one.  Right now it is still doing o2net_listen_work and cannot handle
   sc_rx_work.  so we deadlock.

Junxiao Bi's patch "mm: clear __GFP_FS when PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO is set"
(http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-clear-__gfp_fs-when-pf_memalloc_noio-is-set.patch)
clears __GFP_FS in memalloc_noio_flags() besides __GFP_IO.  We use
memalloc_noio_save() to set process flag PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO so that all
allocations done by this process are done as if GFP_NOIO was specified.
We are not reentering filesystem while doing memory reclaim.
