Btrfs: setup a nofs context for memory allocation at btrfs_create_tree()

We are holding a transaction handle when creating a tree, therefore we can
not allocate the root using GFP_KERNEL, as we could deadlock if reclaim is
triggered by the allocation, therefore setup a nofs context.

Fixes: 74e4d82757f74 ("btrfs: let callers of btrfs_alloc_root pass gfp flags")
