commit 694d6b99923eb05a8fd188be44e26077d19f0e21 upstream.

Commit 48b4800a1c6a ("zsmalloc: page migration support") added support for
migrating zsmalloc pages using the movable_operations migration framework.
However, the commit did not take into account that zsmalloc supports
migration only when CONFIG_COMPACTION is enabled.  Tracing shows that
zsmalloc was still passing the __GFP_MOVABLE flag even when compaction is
not supported.

This can result in unmovable pages being allocated from movable page
blocks (even without stealing page blocks), ZONE_MOVABLE and CMA area.

Possible user visible effects:
- Some ZONE_MOVABLE memory can be not actually movable
- CMA allocation can fail because of this
- Increased memory fragmentation due to ignoring the page mobility
  grouping feature
I'm not really sure who uses kernels without compaction support, though :(

To fix this, clear the __GFP_MOVABLE flag when
!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPACTION).
