Subject: mm/page_alloc.c: apply gfp_allowed_mask before the first allocation attempt
We are by error initializing alloc_flags before gfp_allowed_mask is
applied. This could cause problems after pm_restrict_gfp_mask() is called
during suspend operation. Apply gfp_allowed_mask before initializing
alloc_flags so that the first allocation attempt uses correct flags.
