[PATCH] mm: fix __alloc_pages cpuset ALLOC_* flags

Browse source 
Two changes to the setting of the ALLOC_CPUSET flag in
mm/page_alloc.c:__alloc_pages()

- A bug fix - the "ignoring mins" case should not be honoring ALLOC_CPUSET.
  This case of all cases, since it is handling a request that will free up
  more memory than is asked for (exiting tasks, e.g.) should be allowed to
  escape cpuset constraints when memory is tight.

- A logic change to make it simpler.  Honor cpusets even on GFP_ATOMIC
  (!wait) requests.  With this, cpuset confinement applies to all requests
  except ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS, so that in a subsequent cleanup patch, I can
  remove the ALLOC_CPUSET flag entirely.  Since I don't know any real reason
  this logic has to be either way, I am choosing the path of the simplest
  code.
