xfs: kill XBF_DONTBLOCK
Just about all callers of xfs_buf_read() and xfs_buf_get() use XBF_DONTBLOCK. This is used to make memory allocation use GFP_NOFS rather than GFP_KERNEL to avoid recursion through memory reclaim back into the filesystem. All the blocking get calls in growfs occur inside a transaction, even though they are no part of the transaction, so all allocation will be GFP_NOFS due to the task flag PF_TRANS being set. The blocking read calls occur during log recovery, so they will probably be unaffected by converting to GFP_NOFS allocations. Hence make XBF_DONTBLOCK behaviour always occur for buffers and kill the flag.
