mm: page_alloc: revert inadvertent !__GFP_FS retry behavior change

Historically, !__GFP_FS allocations were not allowed to invoke the OOM
killer once reclaim had failed, but nevertheless kept looping in the
allocator.

Commit 9879de7373fc ("mm: page_alloc: embed OOM killing naturally into
allocation slowpath"), which should have been a simple cleanup patch,
accidentally changed the behavior to aborting the allocation at that
point.  This creates problems with filesystem callers (?) that currently
rely on the allocator waiting for other tasks to intervene.

Revert the behavior as it shouldn't have been changed as part of a
cleanup patch.

Fixes: 9879de7373fc ("mm: page_alloc: embed OOM killing naturally into allocation slowpath")
