mm: introduce __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to emergency reserves
__GFP_MEMALLOC will allow the allocation to disregard the watermarks, much
like PF_MEMALLOC. It allows one to pass along the memalloc state in
object related allocation flags as opposed to task related flags, such as
sk->sk_allocation. This removes the need for ALLOC_PFMEMALLOC as callers
using __GFP_MEMALLOC can get the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK flag which is now
enough to identify allocations related to page reclaim.
