mm/page_alloc: apply per-task GFP context in bulk allocator
alloc_pages_bulk_noprof() does not call current_gfp_context(), so per-task scoped allocation constraints (PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO, PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS, PF_MEMALLOC_PIN) are not applied on the bulk fast path. By ignoring PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO and PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS, the allocation can theoretically result in a deadlock. Ignoring PF_MEMALLOC_PIN also has consequences: without clearing __GFP_MOVABLE, prepare_alloc_pages() selects MIGRATE_MOVABLE for the PCP list, and a task with PF_MEMALLOC_PIN set receives movable pages from the bulk allocator. Once pinned, these pages can no longer be migrated but remain in MOVABLE pageblocks, violating the mobility contract. This can increase fragmentation and interfere with compaction or contiguous-memory allocations, eventually surfacing as higher allocation latency or allocation failures under memory pressure. Found via review of the bulk allocation tracepoint hooks [1].
