Memoryless nodes: Fix GFP_THISNODE behavior
GFP_THISNODE checks that the zone selected is within the pgdat (node) of the
first zone of a nodelist. That only works if the node has memory. A
memoryless node will have its first node on another pgdat (node).
GFP_THISNODE currently will return simply memory on the first pgdat. Thus it
is returning memory on other nodes. GFP_THISNODE should fail if there is no
local memory on a node.
Add a new set of zonelists for each node that only contain the nodes that
belong to the zones itself so that no fallback is possible.
Then modify gfp_type to pickup the right zone based on the presence of
__GFP_THISNODE.
Drop the existing GFP_THISNODE checks from the page_allocators hot path.
