Subject: [PATCH 01/10] dlm: fix up memory allocation flags

From: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@...hat.com>

Use ls_allocation for memory allocations, which a cluster fs sets to
GFP_NOFS.  Use GFP_NOFS for allocations when no lockspace struct is
available.  Taking dlm locks needs to avoid calling back into the
cluster fs because write-out can require taking dlm locks.
