Subject: [PATCH] xfs: Drop setting redundant PF_KSWAPD in kswapd context

xfs_btree_split() calls xfs_btree_split_worker() with args.kswapd set
if current->flags alrady has PF_KSWAPD. Hence we should not again add
PF_KSWAPD into the current flags inside kswapd context. So drop this
redundant flag addition.
