drm/ttm: Use GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT for allocating huge pages
GFP_TRANSHUGE tries very hard to allocate huge pages, which can result in long delays with high memory pressure. I have observed firefox freezing for up to around a minute due to this while restic was taking a full system backup. Since we don't really need huge pages, use GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT | __GFP_NORETRY instead, in order to fail quickly when there are no huge pages available. Set __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM as well, in order for huge pages to be freed up in the background if necessary. With these changes, I'm no longer seeing freezes during a restic backup.
