Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for tracking that down Tetsuo. For context,
it looks like that flag goes back to commit eb01c9cd87 ("[XFS] Remove
the xlog_ticket allocator") that replaces some old internal ticket
allocation mechanism (that I'm not familiar with) with a standard kmem
cache.

ISTM we can just remove that KM_MAYFAIL from ticket allocation. We're
already in NOFS context in this particular caller (writeback), though
that's probably not the case for most other transaction allocations. If
we had a reason to get more elaborate, I suppose we could conditionalize
use of the KM_MAYFAIL flag and/or lift bits of ticket allocation to
earlier in xfs_trans_alloc(), but it's not clear to me that's necessary.
Dave?
