Writeback thread and fuse block each other.
Writeback thread waits fuse's reply with inode's I_SYNC being
held.Fuse enters the slowpath of memory allocation when handle
the request and has to wait the inode's I_SYNC is cleared.

This patch clears __GFP_FS flag when fuse alloctes pages to avoid
deadlock,as super_cache_scan will directly return SHRINK_STOP when
__GFP_FS is not set.
