mm: huge_memory: use GFP_TRANSHUGE when charging huge pages
Transparent huge page charges prefer falling back to regular pages rather than spending a lot of time in direct reclaim. Desired reclaim behavior is usually declared in the gfp mask, but THP charges use GFP_KERNEL and then rely on the fact that OOM is disabled for THP charges, and that OOM-disabled charges don't retry reclaim. Needless to say, this is anything but obvious and quite error prone. Convert THP charges to use GFP_TRANSHUGE instead, which implies __GFP_NORETRY, to indicate the low-latency requirement.
