commit 163f0ec1df upstream.
Syzbot is reporting that ext4 can enter fs reclaim from kvmalloc() while
the transaction is started like:
fs_reclaim_acquire+0x117/0x150 mm/page_alloc.c:4340
might_alloc include/linux/sched/mm.h:193 [inline]
slab_pre_alloc_hook mm/slab.h:493 [inline]
slab_alloc_node mm/slub.c:2817 [inline]
__kmalloc_node+0x5f/0x430 mm/slub.c:4015
kmalloc_node include/linux/slab.h:575 [inline]
kvmalloc_node+0x61/0xf0 mm/util.c:587
kvmalloc include/linux/mm.h:781 [inline]
ext4_xattr_inode_cache_find fs/ext4/xattr.c:1465 [inline]
ext4_xattr_inode_lookup_create fs/ext4/xattr.c:1508 [inline]
ext4_xattr_set_entry+0x1ce6/0x3780 fs/ext4/xattr.c:1649
ext4_xattr_ibody_set+0x78/0x2b0 fs/ext4/xattr.c:2224
ext4_xattr_set_handle+0x8f4/0x13e0 fs/ext4/xattr.c:2380
ext4_xattr_set+0x13a/0x340 fs/ext4/xattr.c:2493
This should be impossible since transaction start sets PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS.
Add some assertions to the code to catch if something isn't working as
expected early.
