[PATCH 1.1/2] xfs: abstract PF_FSTRANS to PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

xfs has defined PF_FSTRANS to declare a scope GFP_NOFS semantic quite
some time ago. We would like to make this concept more generic and use
it for other filesystems as well. Let's start by giving the flag a
more genric name PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS which is in line with an exiting
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO already used for the same purpose for GFP_NOIO
contexts. Replace all PF_FSTRANS usage from the xfs code in the first
step before we introduce a full API for it as xfs uses the flag directly
anyway.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

Hi,
as suggested by Dave, I have split up [1] into two parts. The first one
addes a new PF flag which is just an alias to the existing PF_FSTRANS
and does all the renaming and the second one to introduce the generic
API which only changes the bare minimum in the xfs proper.
