btrfs: avoid blocking when allocating context for nowait dio read/write
When doing a NOWAIT direct IO read/write, we allocate a context object (struct btrfs_dio_data) with GFP_NOFS, which can result in blocking waiting for memory allocation (GFP_NOFS is __GFP_RECLAIM | __GFP_IO). This is undesirable for the NOWAIT semantics, so do the allocation with GFP_NOWAIT if we are serving a NOWAIT request and if the allocation fails return -EAGAIN, so that the caller can fallback to a blocking context and retry with a non-blocking write.
