This patch fixes illegal __GFP_FS allocation inside ext3
transaction in ext3_symlink().
Such allocation may re-enter ext3 code from
try_to_free_pages. But JBD/ext3 code keeps a pointer to current
journal handle in task_struct and, hence, is not reentrable.
This bug led to "Assertion failure in journal_dirty_metadata()" messages.
