mm, sl[au]b: add __GFP_ATOMIC to the GFP reclaim mask

Browse source 
Commit d0164adc89 ("mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to
sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd") modified __GFP_WAIT
to explicitly identify the difference between atomic callers and those
that were unwilling to sleep.  Later the definition was removed entirely.

The GFP_RECLAIM_MASK is the set of flags that affect watermark checking
and reclaim behaviour but __GFP_ATOMIC was never added. Without it, atomic
users of the slab allocator strip the __GFP_ATOMIC flag and cannot access
the page allocator atomic reserves.  This patch addresses the problem.

The user-visible impact depends on the workload but potentially atomic
allocations unnecessarily fail without this path.
