Commit 73e64c51afc5 (mm, compaction: allow compaction for GFP_NOFS requests) changed compation to skip FS pages if not explicitly allowed to touch them, but missed to update the CMA compact_control. This leads to a very high isolation failure rate, crippling performance of CMA even on a lightly loaded system. Re-allow CMA to compact FS pages by setting the correct GFP flags, restoring CMA behavior and performance to the kernel 4.9 level.
