[PATCH 4/5] GFS2: use __vmalloc GFP_NOFS for fs-related allocations.

[Steven Whitehouse]

From: Oleg Drokin <green@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

leaf_dealloc uses vzalloc as a fallback to kzalloc(GFP_NOFS), so
it clearly does not want any shrinker activity within the fs itself.
convert vzalloc into __vmalloc(GFP_NOFS|__GFP_ZERO) to better achieve
this goal.
