commit fccc0007b8dc952c6bc0805cdf842eb8ea06a639 upstream.

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

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.
