Subject: [PATCH] ext4: drop ext4_kvmalloc()

As Jan pointed out[1], as of commit 81378da64de ("jbd2: mark the
transaction context with the scope GFP_NOFS context") we use
memalloc_nofs_{save,restore}() while a jbd2 handle is active.  So
ext4_kvmalloc() so we can call allocate using GFP_NOFS is no longer
necessary.
