[PATCH] xfs: use inode_init_always_gfp with __GFP_NOFAIL in xfs_inode_alloc

Just like the inode allocation itself, allocation of the security data
inside of inode_init_always(_gfp) must not fail here as we can be inside
an already dirty transaction context. Note that we do not have to pass
GFP_NOFS explicitly as we are already in a nofs context when in a
transaction, as seen by the call to alloc_inode_sb.
Also update the comment about this a bit to be more clear.
Fixes: bf904248a2ad ("[XFS] Combine the XFS and Linux inodes")
