commit fccc0007b8dc952c6bc0805cdf842eb8ea06a639 upstream.
Nikolay reported a lockdep splat in generic/476 that I could reproduce with btrfs/187.
====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 5.9.0-rc2+ #1 Tainted: G W ------------------------------------------------------ kswapd0/100 is trying to acquire lock: ffff9e8ef38b6268 (&delayed_node->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: __btrfs_release_delayed_node.part.0+0x3f/0x330

which lock already depends on the new lock.

This is because we are holding the chunk_mutex when we call btrfs_alloc_device, which does a GFP_KERNEL allocation. We don't want to switch that to a GFP_NOFS lock because this is the only place where it matters. So instead use memalloc_nofs_save() around the allocation in order to avoid the lockdep splat.
