Normally what would happen for a __GFP_RECLAIMABLE allocation is that we'd
grab one of the free order-10 MIGRATE_MOVABLE pageblocks and convert it to
MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE as fallback and then allocate the page from there.
Looks like the commit is breaking the fallback logic since I see an
abundance of free memory yet no MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE pageblocks (which
would show 'E' in these lines):

Normal: 1*4kB (M) 2*8kB (M) 1*16kB (U) 2*32kB (UM) 2*64kB (M) 2*128kB (UM) 1*256kB (M) 0*512kB 2*1024kB (UM) 1*2048kB (M) 175*4096kB (M) = 721636kB
HighMem: 0*4kB 1*8kB (M) 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 1*128kB (M) 1*256kB (M) 1*512kB (M) 1*1024kB (M) 2*2048kB (M) 1825*4096kB (M) = 7481224kB

I'm concerned about the change in general, however, because it seems like
__GFP_CMA doesn't absolutely *have* to exist and we get code like this
that will quickly become unmaintainable:

#ifdef CONFIG_CMA
#define ___GFP_CMA 0x800000u
#else
#define ___GFP_CMA 0
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP
#ifdef CONFIG_CMA
#define ___GFP_NOLOCKDEP 0x1000000u
#else
#define ___GFP_NOLOCKDEP 0x800000u
#endif

I suspect that Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> may also have an opinion on
this patch.
