ocfs2: Fix deadlock when allocating page

We cannot call grab_cache_page() when holding filesystem locks or with
a transaction started as grab_cache_page() calls page allocation with
GFP_KERNEL flag and thus page reclaim can recurse back into the filesystem
causing deadlocks or various assertion failures. We have to use
find_or_create_page() instead and pass it GFP_NOFS as we do with other
allocations.
