mm: page_alloc: Remove GFP_IOFS

GFP_IOFS was intended to be shorthand for clearing two flags, not a
set of allocation flags. There is only one user of this flag combination
now and there appears to be no reason why Lustre had to be protected
from reclaim stalls. As none of the sites appear to be atomic, this
patch simply deletes GFP_IOFS and converts Lustre to using GFP_KERNEL.
