bufferhead: Add _gfp version for sb_getblk()
commit bd7ade3c upstream. sb_getblk() is used during ext4 (and possibly other FSes) writeback paths. Sometimes such path require allocating memory and guaranteeing that such allocation won't block. Currently, however, there is no way to provide user flags for sb_getblk which could lead to deadlocks. This patch implements a sb_getblk_gfp with the only difference it can accept user-provided GFP flags.
