Btrfs: setup a nofs context for memory allocation at btrfs_create_tree()
commit b89f6d1f upstream. We are holding a transaction handle when creating a tree, therefore we can not allocate the root using GFP_KERNEL, as we could deadlock if reclaim is triggered by the allocation, therefore setup a nofs context.
