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), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0

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.
