[PATCH] device-mapper ioctl: reduce PF_MEMALLOC usage

Reduce substantially the amount of code using PF_MEMALLOC, as envisaged in the
original FIXME.

If you're using lvm2, for this patch to work correctly you should update to
lvm2 version 2.02.01 or later and device-mapper version 1.02.02 or later.
