Using order 4 pages would be helpful for IOMMUs mapping, but trying to
get order 4 pages could spend quite much time in the page allocation.
From the perspective of responsiveness, the deterministic memory
allocation speed, I think, is quite important.

The order 4 allocation with __GFP_RECLAIM may spend much time in
reclaim and compation logic. __GFP_NORETRY also may affect. These cause
unpredictable delay.

To get reasonable allocation speed from dma-buf system heap, use
HIGH_ORDER_GFP for order 4 to avoid reclaim. And let me remove
meaningless __GFP_COMP for order 0.

According to my tests, order 4 with MID_ORDER_GFP could get more number
of order 4 pages but the elapsed times could be very slow.

         time	order 8	order 4	order 0
     584 usec	0	160	0
  28,428 usec	0	160	0
 100,701 usec	0	160	0
  76,645 usec	0	160	0
  25,522 usec	0	160	0
  38,798 usec	0	160	0
  89,012 usec	0	160	0
  23,015 usec	0	160	0
  73,360 usec	0	160	0
  76,953 usec	0	160	0
  31,492 usec	0	160	0
  75,889 usec	0	160	0
  84,551 usec	0	160	0
  84,352 usec	0	160	0
  57,103 usec	0	160	0
  93,452 usec	0	160	0

If HIGH_ORDER_GFP is used for order 4, the number of order 4 could be
decreased but the elapsed time results were quite stable and fast
enough.

         time	order 8	order 4	order 0
   1,356 usec	0	155	80
   1,901 usec	0	11	2384
   1,912 usec	0	0	2560
   1,911 usec	0	0	2560
   1,884 usec	0	0	2560
   1,577 usec	0	0	2560
   1,366 usec	0	0	2560
   1,711 usec	0	0	2560
   1,635 usec	0	28	2112
     544 usec	10	0	0
     633 usec	2	128	0
     848 usec	0	160	0
     729 usec	0	160	0
   1,000 usec	0	160	0
   1,358 usec	0	160	0
   2,638 usec	0	31	2064
