Li Wei 4be55565fe Fix stack overflow in vn_rdwr() due to memory reclaim
Unless __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS are removed from the file mapping gfp
mask we may enter memory reclaim during IO.  In this case shrink_slab()
entered another file system which is notoriously hungry for stack.
This additional stack usage may cause a stack overflow.  This patch
removes __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS from the mapping gfp mask of each file
during vn_open() to avoid any reclaim in the vn_rdwr() IO path.  The
original mask is then restored at vn_close() time.  Hats off to the
loop driver which does something similiar for the same reason.
