mm/compaction: reverse the change that forbade sync migraton with __GFP_NO_KSWAPD



It's uncertain this has been beneficial, so it's safer to undo it.  All
other compaction users would still go in synchronous mode if a first
attempt at async compaction failed.  Hopefully we don't need to force
special behavior for THP (which is the only __GFP_NO_KSWAPD user so far
and it's the easier to exercise and to be noticeable).  This also make
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD return to its original strict semantics specific to bypass
kswapd, as THP allocations have khugepaged for the async THP
allocations/compactions.
