alloc_pool_huge_page uses __GFP_THISNODE for a different reason than
THP. We really do want to allocated for a per-node pool. THP can
fallback or use a different node.
These hugetlb allocations might be disruptive and that is an expected
behavior because this is an explicit requirement from an admin to
pre-allocate large pages for the future use. __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL just
underlines that requirement.
Maybe the compaction logic could be improved and that might be a shared
goal with future changes though.
