xfs: use KM_NOFS for allocations during attribute list operations
When listing attributes, we are doiing memory allocations under the
inode ilock using only KM_SLEEP. This allows memory allocation to
recurse back into the filesystem and do writeback, which may the
ilock we already hold on the current inode. THis will deadlock.
Hence use KM_NOFS for such allocations outside of transaction
context to ensure that reclaim recursion does not occur.
