net: use __GFP_NORETRY for high order allocations

Browse Source 
sock_alloc_send_pskb() & sk_page_frag_refill()
have a loop trying high order allocations to prepare
skb with low number of fragments as this increases performance.

Problem is that under memory pressure/fragmentation, this can
trigger OOM while the intent was only to try the high order
allocations, then fallback to order-0 allocations.

We had various reports from unexpected regressions.

According to David, setting __GFP_NORETRY should be fine,
as the asynchronous compaction is still enabled, and this
will prevent OOM from kicking as in :

CFSClientEventm invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x42d0, order=3, oom_adj=0,
oom_score_adj=0, oom_score_badness=2 (enabled),memcg_scoring=disabled
CFSClientEventm
