Now that the page allocator offers __GFP_NOLOCKDEP let's introduce
KM_NOLOCKDEP alias for the xfs allocation APIs. While we are at it
also change KM_NOFS users introduced by b17cb364dbbb ("xfs: fix missing
KM_NOFS tags to keep lockdep happy") and use the new flag for them
instead. There is really no reason to make these allocations contexts
weaker just because of the lockdep which even might not be enabled
in most cases.

Hi Michal,

I haven't gone back to fully grok b17cb364dbbb ("xfs: fix missing
KM_NOFS tags to keep lockdep happy"), so I'm not really familiar with
the original problem. FWIW, there was another KM_NOFS instance added by
that commit in xlog_cil_prepare_log_vecs() that is now in
xlog_cil_alloc_shadow_bufs(). Perhaps Dave can confirm whether the
original issue still applies..?

Yes, I've noticed that but the reworked code looked sufficiently
different that I didn't dare to simply convert it.
