btrfs: mask out gfp flags in releasepage

Browse Source 
btree_releasepage is a callback and can be passed unknown gfp flags and then
they may end up in kmem_cache_alloc called from alloc_extent_state, slab
allocator will BUG_ON when there is HIGHMEM or DMA32 flag set.

This may happen when btrfs is mounted from a loop device, which masks out
__GFP_IO flag. The check in try_release_extent_state

3399                 if ((mask & GFP_NOFS) == GFP_NOFS)
3400                         mask = GFP_NOFS;

will not work and passes unfiltered flags further resulting in crash at
mm/slab.c:2963
