Subject: The jbd_GFP_NORFAIL patch caused the jbd_kmalloc_kzalloc.patch fail


While putting together 2.6.23-rc7-ext4-1 patchset, I noticed that the
jbd_GFP_NOFAIL patch caused a patch conflict with the kmalloc/kzalloc
patch.  I also fixed up the patch comments to make the git log look
prettier.

    Fix up jbd k[mz]alloc patch so it applies and fix up GFP_NOFAIL comments
