Currently there seems to be three page frag implementations
which all try to allocate order 3 page, if that fails, it
then fail back to allocate order 0 page, and each of them
all allow order 3 page allocation to fail under certain
condition by using specific gfp bits.
The gfp bits for order 3 page allocation are different
between different implementation, __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is
or'd to forbid access to emergency reserves memory for
__page_frag_cache_refill(), but it is not or'd in other
implementions, __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is masked off to avoid
direct reclaim in vhost_net_page_frag_refill(), but it is
not masked off in __page_frag_cache_refill().
This patch unifies the gfp bits used between different
implementions by or'ing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC and masking off
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM for order 3 page allocation to avoid
possible pressure for mm.
Leave the gfp unifying for page frag implementation in sock.c
for now as suggested by Paolo Abeni.
