mm: consolidate GFP_NOFAIL checks in the allocator slowpath

Tetsuo Handa has pointed out that commit 0a0337e0 ("mm, oom: rework
oom detection") has subtly changed semantic for costly high order
requests with __GFP_NOFAIL and withtout __GFP_REPEAT and those can fail
right now.  My code inspection didn't reveal any such users in the tree
but it is true that this might lead to unexpected allocation failures
and subsequent OOPs.

__alloc_pages_slowpath wrt.  GFP_NOFAIL is hard to follow currently.
There are few special cases but we are lacking a catch all place to be
sure we will not miss any case where the non failing allocation might
fail.  This patch reorganizes the code a bit and puts all those special
cases under nopage label which is the generic go-to-fail path.  Non
failing allocations are retried or those that cannot retry like
non-sleeping allocation go to the failure point directly.  This should
make the code flow much easier to follow and make it less error prone
for future changes.

While we are there we have to move the stall check up to catch
potentially looping non-failing allocations.
