This patch updates ext4 code to pass appropriate transaction
allocation flags to callers who are safe to deal with ENOMEM.
Pass JBD2_TOPLEVEL from the callers who are safe to do allocations
with GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_NOFS.

  I've indicated places where TOPLEVEL cannot be below. There are about 4
or 5 which are probably OK. Otherwise the patch is OK.

  As I wrote in my previous email, JBD2_TOPLEVEL is not OK here because we
hold i_mutex.

  OK, TOPLEVEL possibly could be here because we hold only directory mutex
so writeback won't be stalled. But it's a bit subtle. The same holds for
mknod, mkdir and rmdir below.
