Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix swap cache node allocation mask

Chris Murphy reports that a slightly overcommitted load, testing swap
and zram along with i915, splats and keeps on splatting, when it had
better fail less noisily:

  gnome-shell: page allocation failure: order:0,
  mode:0x400d0(__GFP_IO|__GFP_FS|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_RECLAIMABLE),

Reported on 5.7, but it goes back really to 3.1: when
shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() was implemented for use by i915, and
allowed for __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN flags in most places, but
missed swapin's "& GFP_KERNEL" mask for page tree node allocation in
__read_swap_cache_async() - that was to mask off HIGHUSER_MOVABLE bits
from what page cache uses, but GFP_RECLAIM_MASK is now what's needed.
