Hello,

inspired by recent Matthew's complaint about frequent use of GFP_NOFS in
filesystems I've audited GFP_NOFS use in ext2, udf, and quota code and removed
the uses that are no longer needed or can be reasonably easily replaced with
the scope API. So far lockdep didn't barf on me during fstests runs but I guess
we'll really know only once syzbot seriously stresses this in Linux next.

Unless somebody objects, I'll queue these patches into my tree.

								Honza
