With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

These are mostly long lines and wrong indentation warning
fixes. But also there are two volatile variables and
checkpatch.pl complains about them:
WARNING: Use of volatile is usually wrong: see Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt
+ volatile int gc_seq;
WARNING: Use of volatile is usually wrong: see Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt
+ volatile int gced_lnum;
Well, we anyway use smp_wmb() for c->gc_seq and c->gced_lnum, so
these 'volatile' modifiers can be just dropped.

To avoid memory allocation failure during bulk-read, pre-allocate
a bulk-read buffer, so that if there is only one bulk-reader at
a time, it would just use the pre-allocated buffer and would not
do any memory allocation. However, if there are more than 1 bulk-
reader, then only one reader would use the pre-allocated buffer,
while the other reader would allocate the buffer for itself.

Bulk-read allocates 128KiB or more using kmalloc. The allocation
starts failing often when the memory gets fragmented. UBIFS still
works fine in this case, because it falls-back to standard
(non-optimized) read method, though. This patch teaches bulk-read
to allocate exactly the amount of memory it needs, instead of
allocating 128KiB every time.
This patch is also a preparation to the further fix where we'll
have a pre-allocated bulk-read buffer as well. For example, now
the @bu object is prepared in 'ubifs_bulk_read()', so we could
path either pre-allocated or allocated information to
'ubifs_do_bulk_read()' later. Or teaching 'ubifs_do_bulk_read()'
not to allocate 'bu->buf' if it is already there.

Bulk-read allocates a lot of memory with 'kmalloc()', and when it
is/gets fragmented 'kmalloc()' fails with a scarry warning. But
because bulk-read is just an optimization, UBIFS keeps working fine.
Supress the warning by passing __GFP_NOWARN option to 'kmalloc()'.
This patch also introduces a macro for the magic 128KiB constant.
This is just neater.
Note, this is not really fixes the problem we had, but just hides
the warnings. The further patches fix the problem.

the atime, mtime, ctime value, probably not intentional, add a tmp_le64
and use it here.

Some flash media are capable of reading sequentially at faster rates.
UBIFS bulk-read facility is designed to take advantage of that, by
reading in one go consecutive data nodes that are also located
consecutively in the same LEB.
Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 17 MiB/s to
19 MiB/s.

Always allow truncations to zero, even if budgeting thinks there
is no space. UBIFS reserves some space for deletions anyway.
Otherwise, the following happans:
1. create a file, and write as much as possible there, until ENOSPC
2. truncate the file, which fails with ENOSPC, which is not good.

UBIFS aligns node lengths to 8, so budgeting has to do the
same. Well, direntry, inode, and page budgets are already
aligned, but not inode data budget (e.g., data in special
devices or symlinks). Do this for inode data as well.
Also, add corresponding debugging checks.
