memcg: unify force charging conditions
Currently the kernel force charges the allocations which have __GFP_HIGH flag without triggering the memory reclaim. __GFP_HIGH indicates that the caller is high priority and since commit 869712fd3de5 ("mm: memcontrol: fix network errors from failing __GFP_ATOMIC charges") the kernel lets such allocations do force charging. Please note that __GFP_ATOMIC has been replaced by __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_HIGH does not tell if the caller can block or can trigger reclaim. There are separate checks to determine that. So, there is no need to skip reclaiming for __GFP_HIGH allocations. So, handle __GFP_HIGH together with __GFP_NOFAIL which also does force charging. Please note that this is a noop change as there are no __GFP_HIGH allocators in the kernel which also have __GFP_ACCOUNT (or SLAB_ACCOUNT) and does not allow reclaim for now.
