mm/page_alloc: fix memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs
Currently, memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} API that prevents CMA area
in page allocation is implemented by using current_gfp_context(). However,
there are two problems of this implementation.
First, this doesn't work for allocation fastpath. In the fastpath,
original gfp_mask is used since current_gfp_context() is introduced in
order to control reclaim and it is on slowpath. So, CMA area can be
allocated through the allocation fastpath even if
memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs are used. Currently, there is just
one user for these APIs and it has a fallback method to prevent actual
problem.
Second, clearing __GFP_MOVABLE in current_gfp_context() has a side effect
to exclude the memory on the ZONE_MOVABLE for allocation target.
To fix these problems, this patch changes the implementation to exclude
CMA area in page allocation. Main point of this change is using the
alloc_flags. alloc_flags is mainly used to control allocation so it fits
for excluding CMA area in allocation.
Fixes: d7fefcc8de91 (mm/cma: add PF flag to force non cma alloc)
