Subject: thp: don't alloc harder for gfp nomemalloc even if nowait
From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>
Not worth throwing away the precious reserved free memory pool for
allocations that can fail gracefully (either through mempool or because
they're transhuge allocations later falling back to 4k allocations).
