mm, thp: restructure thp avoidance of light synchronous migration
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD, once the way to determine if an allocation was for thp
or not, has gained more users. Their use is not necessarily wrong, they
are trying to do a memory allocation that can easily fail without
disturbing kswapd, so the bit has gained additional usecases.
This restructures the check to determine whether MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
should be used for memory compaction in the page allocator. Rather than
testing solely for __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, test for all bits that must be set
for thp allocations.
This also moves the check to be done only after the page allocator is
aborted for deferred or contended memory compaction since setting
migration_mode for this case is pointless.
