Michal Hocko 2a70f6a76b memcg, thp: do not invoke oom killer on thp charges
A THP memcg charge can trigger the oom killer since 2516035499 ("mm,
thp: remove __GFP_NORETRY from khugepaged and madvised allocations").
We have used an explicit __GFP_NORETRY previously which ruled the OOM
killer automagically.

Memcg charge path should be semantically compliant with the allocation
path and that means that if we do not trigger the OOM killer for costly
orders which should do the same in the memcg charge path as well.
Otherwise we are forcing callers to distinguish the two and use
different gfp masks which is both non-intuitive and bug prone.  As soon
as we get a costly high order kmalloc user we even do not have any means
to tell the memcg specific gfp mask to prevent from OOM because the
charging is deep within guts of the slab allocator.

The unexpected memcg OOM on THP has already been fixed upstream by
9d3c3354bb ("mm, thp: do not cause memcg oom for thp") but this is a
one-off fix rather than a generic solution.  Teach mem_cgroup_oom to
bail out on costly order requests to fix the THP issue as well as any
other costly OOM eligible allocations to be added in future.

Also revert 9d3c3354bb because special gfp for THP is no longer
needed.
