jbd2: preserve original nofs flag during journal restart
When a transaction starts, start_this_handle() saves current PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS value so that it can be restored at journal stop time. Journal restart is a special case that calls start_this_handle() without stopping the transaction. start_this_handle() isn't aware that the original value is already stored so it overwrites it with current value. For instance, a call sequence like below leaves PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS flag set at the end: jbd2_journal_start() jbd2__journal_restart() jbd2_journal_stop() Make jbd2__journal_restart() restore the original value before calling start_this_handle().
