Remove default GFP_NOFS allocations
As originally described in commit 82b8c8fa64
this was done to prevent certain deadlocks from occuring in the system.
However, as suspected the price for doing this proved to be too high.
The VM is having a hard time effectively reclaiming memory thus we are
reverting this change.
However, we still need to fundamentally handle the issue. Under
Solaris the KM_PUSHPAGE mask is used commonly in I/O paths to ensure
a memory allocations will succeed. We leverage this fact and redefine
KM_PUSHPAGE to include GFP_NOFS. This ensures that in these common
I/O path we don't trigger additional reclaim. This minimizes the
change to the Solaris code.
