Jan Kara 05713082ab jbd: remove dependency on __GFP_NOFAIL
The callers of start_this_handle() (or better ext3_journal_start()) are not
really prepared to handle allocation failures. Such failures can for example
result in silent data loss when it happens in ext3_..._writepage().  OTOH
__GFP_NOFAIL is going away so we just retry allocation in start_this_handle().

This loop is potentially dangerous because the oom killer cannot be invoked
for GFP_NOFS allocation, so there is a potential for infinitely looping.
But still this is better than silent data loss.
