dm verity fec: fix GFP flags used with mempool_alloc()
 
mempool_alloc() cannot fail for GFP_NOIO allocation, so there is no
point testing for failure.

One place the code tested for failure was passing "0" as the GFP
flags.  This is most unusual and is probably meant to be GFP_NOIO,
so that is changed.

Also, allocation from ->extra_pool and ->prealloc_pool are repeated
before releasing the previous allocation.  This can deadlock if the code
is servicing a write under high memory pressure.  To avoid deadlocks,
change these to use GFP_NOWAIT and leave the error handling in place.
