mm: correct page->pfmemalloc to fix deactivate_slab regression

Commit cfd19c5a ("mm: only set page->pfmemalloc when
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was used") tried to narrow down page->pfmemalloc
setting, but it missed some places the pfmemalloc should be set.

So, in __slab_alloc, the unalignment pfmemalloc and ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS
cause incorrect deactivate_slab() on our core2 server:

    64.73%           fio  [kernel.kallsyms]     [k] _raw_spin_lock
                     |
                     --- _raw_spin_lock
                        |
                        |---0.34%-- deactivate_slab
                        |          __slab_alloc
                        |          kmem_cache_alloc
                        |          |

That causes our fio sync write performance to have a 40% regression.

Move the checking in get_page_from_freelist() which resolves this issue.
