Yes, but considering this is a cross-filesystem cleanup I wouldn't want
to address that in this patchset. And the easier, more incremental
approach for the conversion would be to first convert every GFP_NOFS
usage  to memalloc_nofs_save() like this patch does, as small local
changes, and then let the btrfs people combine them and move them to the
approproate location in a separate patchstet.
