Mem-Info:
...
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
releasing. With GFP_KERNEL and __GFP_THISNODE set, allocating from movable
node is always failed. Fix this problem by removing __GFP_THISNODE.
