The reason is that the hugetlb pages being released are allocated from
movable nodes, and with hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap enabled, vmemmap pages
need to be allocated from the same node during the hugetlb pages
Thanks for your fix, I think it should be a real word issue, it's better
to add a Fixes tag to indicate backporting. Thanks.
releasing. With GFP_KERNEL and __GFP_THISNODE set, allocating from movable
node is always failed. Fix this problem by removing __GFP_THISNODE.

There is a little change for non-movable case after this change, we fist try
to allocate memory from the preferred node (it is same as original), if it
fails, it fallbacks to other nodes now. For me, it makes sense. At least, those
huge pages could be freed once other nodes could satisfy the allocation of
vmemmap pages.

Thanks.
Thanks for the review, I will send the v2 patch with Fixes tag and your
Reviewed-by soon.
