mm: numa: quickly fail allocations for NUMA balancing on full nodes

Commit 4167e9b2 ("mm: remove GFP_THISNODE") removed the GFP_THISNODE
flag combination due to confusing semantics.  It noted that
alloc_misplaced_dst_page() was one such user after changes made by
commit e97ca8e5 ("mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify").

Unfortunately when GFP_THISNODE was removed, users of
alloc_misplaced_dst_page() started waking kswapd and entering direct
reclaim because the wrong GFP flags are cleared.  The consequence is
that workloads that used to fit into memory now get reclaimed which is
addressed by this patch.

The problem can be demonstrated with "mutilate" that exercises memcached
which is software dedicated to memory object caching.  The configuration
uses 80% of memory and is run 3 times for varying numbers of clients.
The results on a 4-socket NUMA box are

The metric is queries/second with the more the better.  The results are
way outside of the noise and the reason for the improvement is obvious
from some of the vmstats

The vanilla kernel is swapping like crazy with large amounts of direct
reclaim and kswapd activity.  The figures are aggregate but it's known
that the bad activity is throughout the entire test.

Note that simple streaming anon/file memory consumers also see this
problem but it's not as obvious.  In those cases, kswapd is awake when
it should not be.

As there are at least two reclaim-related bugs out there, it's worth
spelling out the user-visible impact.  This patch only addresses bugs
related to excessive reclaim on NUMA hardware when the working set is
larger than a NUMA node.  There is a bug related to high kswapd CPU
usage but the reports are against laptops and other UMA hardware and is
not addressed by this patch.
