NFS: Prevent another deadlock in nfs_release_page()
commit d812e575822a2b7ab1a7cadae2571505ec6ec2bd upstream. We should not attempt to free the page if __GFP_FS is not set. Otherwise we can deadlock as per http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15578 Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
