mm/migrate: clear __GFP_RECLAIM to make the migration callback consis…
…tent with regular THP allocations new_page_nodemask is a migration callback and it tries to use a common gfp flags for the target page allocation whether it is a base page or a THP. The later only adds GFP_TRANSHUGE to the given mask. This results in the allocation being slightly more aggressive than necessary because the resulting gfp mask will contain also __GFP_RECLAIM_KSWAPD. THP allocations usually exclude this flag to reduce over eager background reclaim during a high THP allocation load which has been seen during large mmaps initialization. There is no indication that this is a problem for migration as well but theoretically the same might happen when migrating large mappings to a different node. Make the migration callback consistent with regular THP allocations.
