[v5,0/2] avoid xfs transaction reservation recursion

Message

This patchset avoids transaction reservation recursion by reintroducing
the discarded PF_FSTRANS in a new way, suggested by Dave. In this new 
implementation, four new helpers are introduced, which are 
xfs_trans_context_{set, clear, update} and fstrans_context_active,
suggested by Dave. And re-using the task->journal_info to indicates
whehter the task is in fstrans or not, suggested by Willy

Patch #1 is picked from Willy's patchset "Overhaul memalloc_no*"[1]

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[e-mail]/

v5:
- pick one of Willy's patch
- introduce four new helpers, per Dave

v4:
- retitle from "xfs: introduce task->in_fstrans for transaction reservation recursion protection"
- reuse current->journal_info, per Willy
