Categorize GFP flags

The function of GFP_LEVEL_MASK seems to be unclear.  In order to clear up
the mystery we get rid of it and replace GFP_LEVEL_MASK with 3 sets of GFP
flags:

GFP_RECLAIM_MASK	Flags used to control page allocator reclaim behavior.

GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK	Flags used to limit where allocations can occur.

GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK	Flags that the slab allocator BUG()s on.

These replace the uses of GFP_LEVEL mask in the slab allocators and in
vmalloc.c.

The use of the flags not included in these sets may occur as a result of a
slab allocation standing in for a page allocation when constructing scatter
gather lists.  Extraneous flags are cleared and not passed through to the
page allocator.  __GFP_MOVABLE/RECLAIMABLE, __GFP_COLD and __GFP_COMP will
now be ignored if passed to a slab allocator.

Change the allocation of allocator meta data in SLAB and vmalloc to not
pass through flags listed in GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK.  SLAB already removes the
__GFP_THISNODE flag for such allocations.  Generalize that to also cover
vmalloc.  The use of GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK also includes __GFP_HARDWALL.

The impact of allocator metadata placement on access latency to the
cachelines of the object itself is minimal since metadata is only
referenced on alloc and free.  The attempt is still made to place the meta
data optimally but we consistently allow fallback both in SLAB and vmalloc
(SLUB does not need to allocate metadata like that).

Allocator metadata may serve multiple in kernel users and thus should not
be subject to the limitations arising from a single allocation context.
