exfat: fix potential deadlock on __exfat_get_dentry_set
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exfat: fix potential deadlock on __exfat_get_dentry_set
When accessing a file with more entries than ES_MAX_ENTRY_NUM, the bh-array
is allocated in __exfat_get_entry_set. The problem is that the bh-array is
allocated with GFP_KERNEL. It does not make sense. In the following cases,
a deadlock for sbi->s_lock between the two processes may occur.

To fix this, let's allocate bh-array with GFP_NOFS.
