[PATCH 2/5] page allocator: Do not allow interrupts to use ALLOC_HARDER

[Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie>]

Commit 341ce06f69abfafa31b9468410a13dbd60e2b237 altered watermark logic
slightly by allowing rt_tasks that are handling an interrupt to set
ALLOC_HARDER. This patch brings the watermark logic more in line with
2.6.30.
