Subject: [PATCH] mm: shmem: use proper gfp flags for shmem_writepage()

References: bnc#1155780 (VM/FS functional and performance backports)
Patch-mainline: v5.5-rc1
Git-commit: 4afab1cd256e425803374b58702ea86a05b0acf9

The shmem_writepage() uses GFP_ATOMIC to allocate swap cache.  GFP_ATOMIC
used to mean __GFP_HIGH, but now it means __GFP_HIGH | __GFP_ATOMIC |
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  However, shmem_writepage() should write out to swap
only in response to memory pressure, so __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM looks useless
since the caller may be kswapd itself or in direct reclaim already.

In addition, XArray node allocations from PF_MEMALLOC contexts could
completely exhaust the page allocator, __GFP_NOMEMALLOC stops emergency
reserves from being allocated.

Here just copy the gfp flags used by add_to_swap().

Hugh:
 "a cleanup to make the two calls look the same when they don't need to
  be different (whereas the call from __read_swap_cache_async() rightly
  uses a lower priority gfp)".
