NFSv4: Don't use GFP_KERNEL allocations in state recovery

We do not want to have the state recovery thread kick off and wait for a
memory reclaim, since that may deadlock when the writebacks end up
waiting for the state recovery thread to complete.

The safe thing is therefore to use GFP_NOFS in all open, close,
delegation return, lock, etc. operations that may be called by the
state recovery thread.
