This is certainly not a result of this patch AFAICS. khugepaged does add
__GFP_THISNODE regardless of what alloc_hugepage_khugepaged_gfpmask
thinks about that flag. Something to look into as well I guess.

Anyway, I guess we want to look closer at what compaction is doing here
because such a long stall is really not acceptable at all. Maybe this is
something 4.12 kernel related. This is hard to tell. Unfortunatelly,
upstream has lost the stall warning so you wouldn't know this is the
case with newer kernels.

Anyway, running with compaction tracepoints might tell us more.
Vlastimil will surely help to tell you which of them to enable.
