jbd2: revert must-not-fail allocation loops back to GFP_NOFAIL
This basically reverts
47def82672b3 ("jbd2: Remove __GFP_NOFAIL from jbd2
layer"). The deprecation of __GFP_NOFAIL was a bad choice because it led
to open coding the endless loop around the allocator rather than removing
the dependency on the non failing allocation. So the deprecation was a
clear failure and the reality tells us that __GFP_NOFAIL is not even close
to go away.
It is still true that __GFP_NOFAIL allocations are generally discouraged
and new uses should be evaluated and an alternative (pre-allocations or
reservations) should be considered but it doesn't make any sense to lie
the allocator about the requirements. Allocator can take steps to help
making a progress if it knows the requirements.
