Mel Gorman bb414b7f41 mm/page_alloc: explicitly define how __GFP_HIGH non-blocking allocations accesses reserves
[ Upstream commit 1ebbb21811 ]

GFP_ATOMIC allocations get flagged ALLOC_HARDER which is a vague
description.  In preparation for the removal of GFP_ATOMIC redefine
__GFP_ATOMIC to simply mean non-blocking and renaming ALLOC_HARDER to
ALLOC_NON_BLOCK accordingly.  __GFP_HIGH is required for access to
reserves but non-blocking is granted more access.  For example, GFP_NOWAIT
is non-blocking but has no special access to reserves.  A __GFP_NOFAIL
blocking allocation is granted access similar to __GFP_HIGH if the only
alternative is an OOM kill.
