mm: alloc_contig: re-allow CMA to compact FS pages 

Commit 73e64c51af ("mm, compaction: allow compaction for GFP_NOFS
requests") changed compation to skip FS pages if not explicitly allowed
to touch them, but missed to update the CMA compact_control.

This leads to a very high isolation failure rate, crippling performance
of CMA even on a lightly loaded system.  Re-allow CMA to compact FS
pages by setting the correct GFP flags, restoring CMA behavior and
performance to the kernel 4.9 level.

Fixes: 73e64c51af (mm, compaction: allow compaction for GFP_NOFS requests)
