xfs: xfs_reflink_convert_cow() memory allocation deadlock
xfs_reflink_convert_cow() manipulates the incore extent list
in GFP_KERNEL context in the IO submission path whilst holding
locked pages under writeback. This is a memory reclaim deadlock
vector. This code is not in a transaction, so any memory allocations
it makes aren't protected via the memalloc_nofs_save() context that
transactions carry.
Hence we need to run this call under memalloc_nofs_save() context to
prevent potential memory allocations from being run as GFP_KERNEL
and deadlocking.
