btrfs: fix possible deadlock by clearing __GFP_FS flag
Using the GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE flag to allocate the metadata's page may cause deadlock. Task1 open() ... btrfs_search_slot() ... btrfs_cow_block() ... alloc_page() wait for reclaiming shrink_slab() ... shrink_icache_memory() ... btrfs_evict_inode() ... btrfs_search_slot() If the path is locked by task1, the deadlock happens. So the btree's page cache is different with the file's page cache, it can not allocate pages by GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE flag, we must clear __GFP_FS flag in GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE flag.
