__alloc_pages_may_oom makes sure to skip the OOM killer depending on the
allocation request. This includes lowmem requests, costly high order
requests and others. For a long time __GFP_NOFAIL acted as an override
for all those rules. This is not documented and it can be quite
surprising as well. E.g. GFP_NOFS requests are not invoking the OOM
killer but GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL does so if we try to convert some of
the existing open coded loops around allocator to nofail request (and we
have done that in the past) then such a change would have a non trivial
side effect which is far from obvious. Note that the primary motivation
for skipping the OOM killer is to prevent from pre-mature invocation.
