Subject: [PATCH v2] ION: Sys_heap: fix the incorrect pool->gfp_mask setting

The gfp_mask low order pool is overlapped by the high order
inside the loop, so the gfp_mask of all pools are set to
high_order_gfp_flags. And all the allcations will have no __GFP_RECLAIM
flag, we will easily get the allocation failure problem with
memory presure.

Changes since v1:
1. fix the tag
2. change the flags define based on the comment.

Fixes: e7f63771b60e ("ION: Sys_heap: Add cached pool to spead up cached buffer alloc")
