btrfs: fix possible deadlock by clearing __GFP_FS flag
Using the GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE flag to allocate the metadata's page may cause
deadlock.
Task1
open()
...
btrfs_search_slot()
...
btrfs_cow_block()
...
alloc_page()
wait for reclaiming
shrink_slab()
...
shrink_icache_memory()
...
btrfs_evict_inode()
...
btrfs_search_slot()
If the path is locked by task1, the deadlock happens.
So the btree's page cache is different with the file's page cache, it can not
allocate pages by GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE flag, we must clear __GFP_FS flag in
GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE flag.
