mm: make it clear that gfp reclaim modifiers are valid only for sleepable allocations
While it might be really clear to MM developers that gfp reclaim modifiers are applicable only to sleepable allocations (those with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM) it seems that actual users of the API are not always sure. Make it explicit that they are not applicable for GFP_NOWAIT or GFP_ATOMIC allocations which are the most commonly used non-sleepable allocation masks.
