smack: use GFP_NOFS while holding inode_smack::smk_lock

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848598

commit e5bfad3d upstream.

inode_smack::smk_lock is taken during smack_d_instantiate(), which is
called during a filesystem transaction when creating a file on ext4.
Therefore to avoid a deadlock, all code that takes this lock must use
GFP_NOFS, to prevent memory reclaim from waiting for the filesystem
transaction to complete.
