ubi: fastmap: Allocate memory with GFP_NOFS in ubi_update_fastmap

Function ubi_update_fastmap could be called in IO context, for example:
 ubifs_writepage
  do_writepage
   ubifs_jnl_write_data
    write_head
     ubifs_wbuf_write_nolock
      ubifs_leb_write
       ubi_leb_write
        ubi_eba_write_leb
 try_write_vid_and_data
  ubi_wl_get_peb
   ubi_update_fastmap
    erase_block

So it's better to allocate memory with GFP_NOFS mode, in case waiting
page writeback(dead loop).
