mm/page_alloc: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating pages via alloc_contig*()

Patch series "mm: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating remote pages".

__GFP_HARDWALL means that we will be respecting the cpuset of the caller
when allocating a page.  However, when we are migrating remote allocations
(pages allocated from other context), the cpuset of the current context is
irrelevant.

For memory offlining + alloc_contig_*(), this is rather obvious.  There
might be other such page migration users, let's start with the obvious
ones.


This patch (of 2):

We'll migrate pages allocated by other contexts; respecting the cpuset of
the alloc_contig*() caller when allocating a migration target does not
make sense.

Drop the __GFP_HARDWALL.

Note that in an ideal world, migration code could figure out the cpuset
of the original context and take that into consideration.
