dm bufio: change __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS in shrinker callbacks
commit 9d28eb12 upstream. The shrinker uses gfp flags to indicate what kind of operation can the driver wait for. If __GFP_IO flag is present, the driver can wait for block I/O operations, if __GFP_FS flag is present, the driver can wait on operations involving the filesystem. dm-bufio tested for __GFP_IO. However, dm-bufio can run on a loop block device that makes calls into the filesystem. If __GFP_IO is present and __GFP_FS isn't, dm-bufio could still block on filesystem operations if it runs on a loop block device. The change from __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS supposedly fixes one observed (though unreproducible) deadlock involving dm-bufio and loop device.
