What is the mapping_min_folio_order(mapping) for fuse? One thing we can
do is decide for which range of orders we want a cheap failure i.e. without
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM and then the range where we are fine with some
effort and work. I see __GFP_NORETRY is being used for orders larger
than min_order, please note that this flag still allows one iteration of
reclaim and compaction, so not necessarily cheap.
