IB/mlx5: Reduce max order of memory allocated for xlt update
To update xlt (during mlx5_ib_reg_user_mr()), the driver can request up to
1 MB (order-8) memory, depending on the size of the MR. This costly
allocation can sometimes take very long to return (a few seconds). This
causes the calling application to hang for a long time, especially when
the system is fragmented. To avoid these long latency spikes, the calls
the higher order allocations need to fail faster in case they are not
available.
In order to acheive this we need __GFP_NORETRY flag in the gfp_mask before
during fetching the free pages. Allow the algorithm to automatically fall
back to smaller page sizes.
