[PATCH] xfs: fix nofs context corruption in xfs_btree_split_worker

[Yun Zhou <yun.zhou@windriver.com>]

xfs_btree_split_worker() calls xfs_trans_set_context() on the shared
transaction, overwriting tp->t_pflags saved by the submitting thread.
This can cause the submitting thread's NOFS protection to be cleared
prematurely when the transaction is freed, risking deadlocks from
allocations recursing into fs_reclaim.

    Thread A (NOFS set)             Worker
    -------------------             ------
    xfs_trans_alloc()
      xfs_trans_set_context(tp)
        tp->t_pflags = 0  (*)
    ...
    xfs_btree_split()
      queue_work(split_worker)
                                    xfs_trans_set_context(tp)
                                      tp->t_pflags = NOFS  (clobbers!)
                                    __xfs_btree_split()
                                    xfs_trans_clear_context(tp)
      wait_for_completion()
    ...
    xfs_trans_free(tp)
      memalloc_nofs_restore(NOFS)
        -> clears Thread A's NOFS!

    (*) returns 0 because NOFS was already set by outer scope

Fix by using a local memalloc_nofs_save()/restore() in the worker
instead of touching the shared transaction state.
