[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 030/118] dm btree: silence lockdep lock inversion in dm_btree_del()

[Luis Henriques]

3.16.7-ckt16 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joe Thornber <ejt@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1c7518794a3647eb345d59ee52844e8a40405198 upstream.

Allocate memory using GFP_NOIO when deleting a btree.  dm_btree_del()
can be called via an ioctl and we don't want to recurse into the FS or
block layer.
