xfs: switch to NOFS allocation under i_lock in xfs_buf_associate_memory
xfs_buf_associate_memory is used for setting up the spare buffer for the
log wrap case in xlog_sync which can happen under i_lock when called from
xfs_fsync. The i_lock mutex is taken in reclaim context so all allocations
under it must avoid recursions into the filesystem. There are a couple
more uses of xfs_buf_associate_memory in the log recovery code that are
also affected by this, but I'd rather keep the code simple than passing on
a gfp_mask argument. Longer term we should just stop requiring the memoery
allocation in xlog_sync by some smaller rework of the buffer layer.
Reported by the new reclaim context tracing in lockdep.
