vfs: fix possible deadlock in ext2, ext3, ext4 when using xattrs

mb_cache_entry_alloc() was allocating cache entries with GFP_KERNEL.  But
filesystems are calling this function while holding xattr_sem so possible
recursion into the fs violates locking ordering of xattr_sem and transaction
start / i_mutex for ext2-4.  Change mb_cache_entry_alloc() so that filesystems
can specify desired gfp mask and use GFP_NOFS from all of them.
