[PATCH] mm/vmscan: restore allowed mask in alloc_demote_folio()

[Bing Jiao]

In alloc_demote_folio(), mtc->nmask is set to NULL for the first
allocation. If that succeeds, it returns without restoring mtc->nmask
to allowed_mask. For subsequent allocations from the migrate_pages()
batch, mtc->nmask will be NULL. If the target node then becomes full,
the fallback allocation will use nmask = NULL, allocating from any
node allowed by the task cpuset, which for kswapd is all nodes.

To address this issue, restore the mtc->nmask to its original allowed
nodemask after the first allocation.
