Subject: [RFC PATCH 25/26] mm: page_alloc: disallow fallbacks when 2M defrag is enabled

Fallbacks are already unlikely due to watermarks being enforced
against MIGRATE_FREE blocks. Eliminate them altogether. This allows
compaction to look exclusively at movable blocks, reducing the number
of pageblocks it needs to scan on an ongoing basis.
