Modifying the flags as is done in the existing code does not bother me
too much, but that is just my opinion.  Adding __gfp_mask for modifications
is fine with me if others think it is a good thing.

Does dequeue_huge_page_vma() need to be modified so that it will set
ac.__gfp_mask before calling dequeue_huge_page_nodemask()?
