[PATCH 3.16 25/72] smack: use GFP_NOFS while holding inode_smack::smk_lock

[Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>]

3.16.79-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

commit e5bfad3d7acc5702f32aafeb388362994f4d7bd0 upstream.

inode_smack::smk_lock is taken during smack_d_instantiate(), which is
called during a filesystem transaction when creating a file on ext4.
Therefore to avoid a deadlock, all code that takes this lock must use
GFP_NOFS, to prevent memory reclaim from waiting for the filesystem
transaction to complete.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Drop change to smk_netlbl_mls(), where GFP_ATOMIC is used
 - Adjust context]
