Minchan Kim 9bc482d346 zram: use __GFP_MOVABLE for memory allocation
Zsmalloc is ready for page migration so zram can use __GFP_MOVABLE from
now on.

I did test to see how it helps to make higher order pages.  Test
scenario is as follows.

KVM guest, 1G memory, ext4 formated zram block device,

  for i in `seq 1 8`;
  do
          dd if=/dev/vda1 of=mnt/test$i.txt bs=128M count=1 &
  done

  wait `pidof dd`

  for i in `seq 1 2 8`;
  do
          rm -rf mnt/test$i.txt
  done
  fstrim -v mnt

  echo "init"
  cat /proc/buddyinfo

  echo "compaction"
  echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
  cat /proc/buddyinfo

As you can see, compaction made so many high-order pages. Yay!
