Subject: [PATCH] mm: zswap: fix writeback shinker GFP_NOIO/GFP_NOFS recursion

Kent forwards this bug report of zswap re-entering the block layer
from an IO request allocation and locking up:

The zswap shrinker resumes the swap_writepage()s that were intercepted
by the zswap store. This will enter the block layer, and may even
enter the filesystem depending on the swap backing file.

Make it respect GFP_NOIO and GFP_NOFS.
