do_logfs_journal_wl_pass() should use GFP_NOFS for memory allocation GC
code calls btree_insert32 with GFP_KERNEL while holding a mutex
super->s_write_mutex.

The same mutex is used in address_space_operations->writepage(), and a
call to writepage() could be triggered as a result of memory allocation
in btree_insert32, causing a deadlock.
