btrfs: use __GFP_NOFAIL in alloc_btrfs_bio
alloc_btrfs_bio relies on GFP_NOFS allocation when committing the transaction but this allocation context is rather weak wrt. reclaim capabilities. The page allocator currently tries hard to not fail these allocations if they are small (<=PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER) but it can still fail if the _current_ process is the OOM killer victim. Moreover there is an attempt to move away from the default no-fail behavior and allow these allocation to fail more eagerly. This would lead to: [ 37.928625] kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/extent_io.c:4045 which is clearly undesirable and the nofail behavior should be explicit if the allocation failure cannot be tolerated.
