NTFS: Allow highmem kmalloc() in ntfs_malloc_nofs() and add _nofail() version.
- Modify fs/ntfs/malloc.h::ntfs_malloc_nofs() to do the kmalloc() based allocations with __GFP_HIGHMEM, analogous to how the vmalloc() based allocations are done. - Add fs/ntfs/malloc.h::ntfs_malloc_nofs_nofail() which is analogous to ntfs_malloc_nofs() but it performs allocations with __GFP_NOFAIL and hence cannot fail.
