4.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Rientjes <rient...@google.com>

commit 5265047ac30191ea24b16503165000c225f54feb upstream.

Commit 077fcf116c8c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on local
node") restructured alloc_hugepage_vma() with the intent of only
allocating transparent hugepages locally when there was not an effective
interleave mempolicy.

alloc_pages_exact_node() does not limit the allocation to the single node,
however, but rather prefers it.  This is because __GFP_THISNODE is not set
which would cause the node-local nodemask to be passed.  Without it, only
a nodemask that prefers the local node is passed.

Fix this by passing __GFP_THISNODE and falling back to small pages when
the allocation fails.

Commit 9f1b868a13ac ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target
node") suffers from a similar problem for khugepaged, which is also fixed.

Fixes: 077fcf116c8c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on local node")
Fixes: 9f1b868a13ac ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target node")
