NTFS: Use ntfs_malloc_nofs_nofail() in runlist.c::ntfs_runlists_merge()
in the two critical regions. This means we no longer need to panic() when the allocation fails as it now cannot fail. Signed-off-by: Anton Altaparmakov <aia21@cantab.net>

- Add fs/ntfs/malloc.h::ntfs_malloc_nofs_nofail() which is analogous to
ntfs_malloc_nofs() but it performs allocations with __GFP_NOFAIL and
hence cannot fail.

many bug fixes, cleanups, and enhancements...
