Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.9 24/39] btrfs: do nofs allocations when adding and removing qgroup relations

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@...e.com>

[ Upstream commit 7aa6d359845a9dbf7ad90b0b1b6347ef4764621f ]

When adding or removing a qgroup relation we are doing a GFP_KERNEL
allocation which is not safe because we are holding a transaction
handle open and that can make us deadlock if the allocator needs to
recurse into the filesystem. So just surround those calls with a
nofs context.
