dm bufio: drop the lock when doing GFP_NOIO allocation
commit 41c73a49df31151f4ff868f28fe4f129f113fa2c upstream. If the first allocation attempt using GFP_NOWAIT fails, drop the lock and retry using GFP_NOIO allocation (lock is dropped because the allocation can take some time). Note that we won't do GFP_NOIO allocation when we loop for the second time, because the lock shouldn't be dropped between __wait_for_free_buffer and __get_unclaimed_buffer.
