mm: page_alloc: abort fair zone allocation policy when remotes nodes are encountered
The purpose of numa_zonelist_order=zone is to preserve lower zones for
use with 32-bit devices. If locality is preferred then the
numa_zonelist_order=node policy should be used.
Unfortunately, the fair zone allocation policy overrides this by
skipping zones on remote nodes until the lower one is found. While this
makes sense from a page aging and performance perspective, it breaks the
expected zonelist policy. This patch restores the expected behaviour
for zone-list ordering.
