zswap_frontswap_store() is called during memory reclaim from
__frontswap_store() from swap_writepage() from shrink_page_list().
This may happen in NOFS context, thus zswap shouldn't use __GFP_FS,
otherwise we may renter into fs code and deadlock.
zswap_frontswap_store() also shouldn't use __GFP_IO to avoid recursion
into itself.
zswap_frontswap_store() call zpool_malloc() with __GFP_NORETRY |
__GFP_NOWARN | __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM, so let's use the same flags for
zswap_entry_cache_alloc() as well, instead of GFP_KERNEL.
