ext3: fix wrong gfp type under transaction

There are several places where we make allocations with GFP_KERNEL while under
a transaction, which could lead to an assertion panic or lockup if under
memory pressure.  This patch switches these problem areas to use GFP_NOFS to
keep these problems from happening.
