mem_cgroup_charge() uses the GFP flags in a fairly sophisticated way.
In addition to checking gfpflags_allow_blocking(), it pays attention
to __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL to ensure that processes within
this memcg do not exceed their quotas. Using the same GFP flags ensures
that we handle large anonymous folios correctly, including falling back
to smaller orders when there is plenty of memory available in the system
but this memcg is close to its limits.
