btrfs: scrub: add memalloc_nofs protection around init_ipath
init_ipath is called from a safe ioctl context and from scrub when printing an error. The protection is added for three reasons: * init_data_container calls vmalloc and this does not work as expected in the GFP_NOFS context, so this silently does GFP_KERNEL and might deadlock in some cases * keep the context constraint of GFP_NOFS, used by scrub * we want to use GFP_KERNEL unconditionally inside init_ipath or its callees Reviewed-by: Anand Jain <anand.jain@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
