This reverts commit e0887c19b2daa140f20ca8104bdc5740f39dbb86.
If reclaim runs with an high order allocation, it means compaction
failed. That means something went wrong with compaction so we can't
stop reclaim too. We can't assume it failed and was deferred only
because of the too low watermarks in compaction_suitable, it may have
failed for other reasons.
