Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask"
This reverts commit 89c83fb539f95491be80cdd5158e6f0ce329e317. This should have been done as part of 2f0799a0ffc0 ("mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations"). The movement of the thp allocation policy from alloc_pages_vma() to alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() was intended to only set __GFP_THISNODE for mempolicies that are not MPOL_BIND whereas the revert could set this regardless of mempolicy. While the check for MPOL_BIND between alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() and alloc_pages_vma() was racy, that has since been removed since the revert. What is left is the possibility to use __GFP_THISNODE in policy_node() when it is unexpected because the special handling for hugepages in alloc_pages_vma() was removed as part of the consolidation. Secondly, prior to 89c83fb539f9, alloc_pages_vma() implemented a somewhat different policy for hugepage allocations, which were allocated through alloc_hugepage_vma(). For hugepage allocations, if the allocating process's node is in the set of allowed nodes, allocate with __GFP_THISNODE for that node (for MPOL_PREFERRED, use that node with __GFP_THISNODE instead). This was changed for shmem_alloc_hugepage() to allow fallback to other nodes in 89c83fb539f9 as it did for new_page() in mm/mempolicy.c which is functionally different behavior and removes the requirement to only allocate hugepages locally. So this commit does a full revert of 89c83fb539f9 instead of the partial revert that was done in 2f0799a0ffc0. The result is the same thp allocation policy for 4.20 that was in 4.19.
