Subject: [PATCH] memcg, oom: no oom-kill for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
The documentation of __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL clearly mentioned that the OOM
killer will not be triggered and indeed the page alloc does not invoke OOM
killer for such allocations. However we do trigger memcg OOM killer for
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL. Fix that. This flag will used later to not trigger
oom-killer in the charging path for fanotify and inotify event
allocations.
