Blee, it wouldn't because ~GFP_RECLAIM_MASK will not contain neither
GFP_FS nor GFP_IO. So all is good here.

well, after more thinking about we, should probably keep it where it is.
If for nothing else try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages has a tracepoint which
prints the gfp mask so we should use the filtered one. So let's just
