xfs: Fix deadlock on xfs_inodegc_worker
We are doing a test about deleting a large number of files
when memory is low. A deadlock problem was found.

When the memory is insufficient, xfs_inonodegc_worker will trigger memory
reclamation when memory is allocated, then flush_work() may be called to
wait for the work to complete. This causes a deadlock.
So use memalloc_nofs_save() to avoid triggering memory reclamation in
xfs_inodegc_worker.
