Subject: [patch v2 for-4.20] 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.

Fixes: 89c83fb539f9 ("mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask")
Fixes: 2f0799a0ffc0 ("mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations")

---
 This indeed restores the thp allocation policy fully to what it was in
 4.19 since there is obivously more discussion to be had about how the
 NUMA aspects of thp allocations should be addressed.  We can do this
 with a stable 4.20 tree in the background that has the same allocation
 policy that was in 4.0.

 I'll handle the reverts of the removal of __GFP_THISNODE for the stable
 trees separately.
