btrfs: fix possible deadlock by clearing __GFP_FS flag 

Using the GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE flag to allocate the metadata's page may cause
deadlock.
  Task1
  open()
    ...
    btrfs_search_slot()
      ...
      btrfs_cow_block()
	...
	alloc_page()
	  wait for reclaiming
					shrink_slab()
					  ...
					  shrink_icache_memory()
					    ...
					    btrfs_evict_inode()
					      ...
					      btrfs_search_slot()

If the path is locked by task1, the deadlock happens.

So the btree's page cache is different with the file's page cache, it can not
allocate pages by GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE flag, we must clear __GFP_FS flag in
GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE flag.
