Currently, the gfpmask used in shmem_alloc_hugepage is fixed, i.e.,
gfp | __GFP_COMP | __GFP_NORETRY | __GFP_NOWARN, where gfp comes from
inode mapping, usually GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE. This will introduce direct
or kswapd reclaim when fast path of shmem hugepage allocation fails,
which is unexpected sometimes.
This applies the effect of defrag option of anonymous hugepage to shmem
hugepage too. By doing so, we can control the defrag behavior of both
kinds of THP.
This also explicitly adds the SHMEM_HUGE_ALWAYS case in
shmem_getpage_gfp, for better code reading.
