Michal Hocko f3610a6aff arm64: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT
__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.

{pte,pmd,pud}_alloc_one{_kernel}, late_pgtable_alloc use PGALLOC_GFP for
__get_free_page (aka order-0).

pgd_alloc is slightly more complex because it allocates from pgd_cache
if PGD_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE and PGD_SIZE depends on the configuration
(CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS, PAGE_SHIFT and CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS).

As per
config PGTABLE_LEVELS
	int
	default 2 if ARM64_16K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_36
	default 2 if ARM64_64K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_42
	default 3 if ARM64_64K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_48
	default 3 if ARM64_4K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_39
	default 3 if ARM64_16K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_47
	default 4 if !ARM64_64K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_48

we should have the following options

  CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:48 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:4 PAGE_SIZE:4k size:4096 pages:1
  CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:48 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:4 PAGE_SIZE:16k size:16 pages:1
  CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:48 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:3 PAGE_SIZE:64k size:512 pages:1
  CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:47 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:3 PAGE_SIZE:16k size:16384 pages:1
  CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:42 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:2 PAGE_SIZE:64k size:65536 pages:1
  CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:39 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:3 PAGE_SIZE:4k size:4096 pages:1
  CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:36 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:2 PAGE_SIZE:16k size:16384 pages:1

All of them fit into a single page (aka order-0).  This means that this
flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used
only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
