mb_cache_entry_alloc() was allocating cache entries with GFP_KERNEL.  But
filesystems are calling this function while holding xattr_sem so possible
recursion into the fs violates locking ordering of xattr_sem and transaction
start / i_mutex for ext2-4.  Change mb_cache_entry_alloc() so that filesystems
can specify desired gfp mask and use GFP_NOFS from all of them.

<title>iget: stop EXT2 from using iget() and read_inode()</title>

<content type='text'>
Stop the EXT2 filesystem from using iget() and read_inode().  Replace
ext2_read_inode() with ext2_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
ext2_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.

ext2_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

The comment in ext[234]_new_blocks() describes about "i".  But there is no
local variable called "i" in that scope.  I guess it has been renamed to
group_no.
