Changed to costly order.
One more thing. The original version of this patch included
a cond_resched() here, that was also removed. From my re-reading
of the code in page_alloc.c and vmscan.c now, I tend to think
this is indeed not needed, since any cond_resched()s that might
be needed to ensure the safety of the code will be properly
inserted by the reclaim code itself, so there is no need for us
to include any when we signal that a retry is needed.
Do you/others agree?
