Subject: mm, memcg: do not retry precharge charges
When memory.move_charge_at_immigrate is enabled and precharges are
depleted during move, mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range() will attempt to
increase the size of the precharge.
Prevent precharges from ever looping by setting __GFP_NORETRY. This was
probably the intention of the GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_NORETRY, which is
pointless as written.
