Subject: [patch] mm, thp: do not cause memcg oom for thp

Commit 2516035499b9 ("mm, thp: remove __GFP_NORETRY from khugepaged and
madvised allocations") changed the page allocator to no longer detect thp
allocations based on __GFP_NORETRY.

It did not, however, modify the mem cgroup try_charge() path to avoid oom
kill for either khugepaged collapsing or thp faulting.  It is never
expected to oom kill a process to allocate a hugepage for thp; reclaim is
governed by the thp defrag mode and MADV_HUGEPAGE, but allocations (and
charging) should fallback instead of oom killing processes.

Fixes: 2516035499b9 ("mm, thp: remove __GFP_NORETRY from khugepaged and madvised allocations")
