mm: do not ignore mapping_gfp_mask in page cache allocation paths
page_cache_read, do_generic_file_read, __generic_file_splice_read and __ntfs_grab_cache_pages currently ignore mapping_gfp_mask when calling add_to_page_cache_lru which might cause recursion into fs down in the direct reclaim path if the mapping really relies on GFP_NOFS semantic. This doesn't seem to be the case now because page_cache_read (page fault path) doesn't seem to suffer from the reclaim recursion issues and do_generic_file_read and __generic_file_splice_read also shouldn't be called under fs locks which would deadlock in the reclaim path. Anyway it is better to obey mapping gfp mask and prevent from later breakage.
