mm/cma: change fallback behaviour for CMA freepage
Freepage with MIGRATE_CMA can be used only for MIGRATE_MOVABLE and they should not be expanded to other migratetype buddy list to protect them from unmovable/reclaimable allocation. Implementing these requirements in __rmqueue_fallback(), that is, finding largest possible block of freepage has bad effect that high order freepage with MIGRATE_CMA are broken continually although there are suitable order CMA freepage. Reason is that they are not be expanded to other migratetype buddy list and next __rmqueue_fallback() invocation try to finds another largest block of freepage and break it again. So, MIGRATE_CMA fallback should be handled separately. This patch introduces __rmqueue_cma_fallback(), that just wrapper of __rmqueue_smallest() and call it before __rmqueue_fallback() if migratetype == MIGRATE_MOVABLE. This results in unintended behaviour change that MIGRATE_CMA freepage is always used first rather than other migratetype as movable allocation's fallback. But, as already mentioned above, MIGRATE_CMA can be used only for MIGRATE_MOVABLE, so it is better to use MIGRATE_CMA freepage first as much as possible. Otherwise, we needlessly take up precious freepages with other migratetype and increase chance of fragmentation.
