memory allocates can happen while the xfs ilock is held in
xfs_free_eofblocks, particularly
[<ffffffff813e6667>] kmem_zone_alloc+0x67/0xc0
[<ffffffff813e5945>] xfs_trans_add_item+0x25/0x50
[<ffffffff8143d64c>] xfs_trans_ijoin+0x2c/0x60
[<ffffffff8142275e>] xfs_itruncate_extents+0xbe/0x400
[<ffffffff813c72f4>] xfs_free_eofblocks+0x1c4/0x240
So set PF_FSTRANS to avoid this causing a deadlock.
Care is needed here as xfs_trans_reserve() also sets PF_FSTRANS, while
xfs_trans_cancel and xfs_trans_commit will clear it.
So our extra setting must fully nest these calls.
