mm/page_alloc: don't wake kswapd from rmqueue() unless __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is specified 

Commit 73444bc4d8 ("mm, page_alloc: do not wake kswapd with zone lock
held") moved wakeup_kswapd() from steal_suitable_fallback() to rmqueue()
using ZONE_BOOSTED_WATERMARK flag.

Only allocation contexts that include ALLOC_KSWAPD (which corresponds to
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) should wake kswapd, for callers are supposed to
remove __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM if trying to hold pgdat->kswapd_wait has a
risk of deadlock.  But since zone->flags is a shared variable, a thread
doing !__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM allocation request might observe this flag
being set immediately after another thread doing __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM
allocation request set this flag, causing possibility of deadlock.
