xfs: I/O completion handlers must use NOFS allocations

When completing I/O requests we must not allow the memory allocator to
recurse into the filesystem, as we might deadlock on waiting for the
I/O completion otherwise.  The only thing currently allocating normal
GFP_KERNEL memory is the allocation of the transaction structure for
the unwritten extent conversion.  Add a memflags argument to
_xfs_trans_alloc to allow controlling the allocator behaviour.
