Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: fix lockdep splat in add_missing_dev

Nikolay reported a lockdep splat in generic/476 that I could reproduce
with btrfs/187.

  but task is already holding lock:

  which lock already depends on the new lock.

  other info that might help us debug this:

  Chain exists of:
    &delayed_node->mutex --> &fs_info->chunk_mutex --> fs_reclaim

   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

	 CPU0                    CPU1
	 ----                    ----
    lock(fs_reclaim);
				 lock(&fs_info->chunk_mutex);
				 lock(fs_reclaim);
    lock(&delayed_node->mutex);

This is because we are holding the chunk_mutex when we call
btrfs_alloc_device, which does a GFP_KERNEL allocation.  We don't want
to switch that to a GFP_NOFS lock because this is the only place where
it matters.  So instead use memalloc_nofs_save() around the allocation
in order to avoid the lockdep splat.
