mm: discard __GFP_ATOMIC

mm: discard __GFP_ATOMIC

__GFP_ATOMIC serves little purpose.  Its main effect is to set
ALLOC_HARDER which adds a few little boosts to increase the chance of an
allocation succeeding, one of which is to lower the water-mark at which it
will succeed.

It is *always* paired with __GFP_HIGH which sets ALLOC_HIGH which also
adjusts this watermark.  It is probable that other users of __GFP_HIGH
should benefit from the other little bonuses that __GFP_ATOMIC gets.

__GFP_ATOMIC also gives a warning if used with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM.
There is little point to this.  We already get a might_sleep() warning if
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set.

__GFP_ATOMIC allows the "watermark_boost" to be side-stepped.  It is
probable that testing ALLOC_HARDER is a better fit here.

__GFP_ATOMIC is used by tegra-smmu.c to check if the allocation might
sleep.  This should test __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM instead.

This patch:
 - removes __GFP_ATOMIC
 - causes __GFP_HIGH to set ALLOC_HARDER unless __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is set
   (as well as ALLOC_HIGH).
 - makes other adjustments as suggested by the above.

The net result is not change to GFP_ATOMIC allocations.  Other
allocations that use __GFP_HIGH will benefit from a few different extra
privileges.  This affects:
  xen, dm, md, ntfs3
  the vermillion frame buffer
  hibernation
  ksm
  swap
all of which likely produce more benefit than cost if these selected
allocation are more likely to succeed quickly.
