Subject: [PATCH] xfs: introduce and use KM_NOLOCKDEP to silence reclaim
 lockdep false positives

Now that the page allocator offers __GFP_NOLOCKDEP let's introduce
KM_NOLOCKDEP alias for the xfs allocation APIs. While we are at it
also change KM_NOFS users introduced by b17cb364dbbb ("xfs: fix missing
KM_NOFS tags to keep lockdep happy") and use the new flag for them
instead. There is really no reason to make these allocations contexts
weaker just because of the lockdep which even might not be enabled
in most cases.

Changes since v1
- check for KM_NOLOCKDEP in kmem_flags_convert to not hit sanity BUG_ON
  as per Mike Galbraith
