PF_FSTRANS which is used to avoid transaction reservation recursion, is
dropped since commit 9070733b4efa ("xfs: abstract PF_FSTRANS to
PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS") and replaced by PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS which means to avoid
filesystem reclaim recursion.
As these two flags have different meanings, we'd better reintroduce
PF_FSTRANS back. To avoid wasting the space of PF_* flags in task_struct,
we can reuse the current->journal_info to do that, per Willy. As the
check of transaction reservation recursion is used by XFS only, we can
move the check into xfs_vm_writepage(s), per Dave.
