ext4: use non-movable memory for superblock readahead
commit d87f639258a6a5980183f11876c884931ad93da2 upstream. Since commit a8ac900b8163 ("ext4: use non-movable memory for the superblock") buffers for ext4 superblock were allocated using the sb_bread_unmovable() helper which allocated buffer heads out of non-movable memory blocks. It was necessarily to not block page migrations and do not cause cma allocation failures. However commit 85c8f176a611 ("ext4: preload block group descriptors") broke this by introducing pre-reading of the ext4 superblock. The problem is that __breadahead() is using __getblk() underneath, which allocates buffer heads out of movable memory. It resulted in page migration failures I've seen on a machine with an ext4 partition and a preallocated cma area. Fix this by introducing sb_breadahead_unmovable() and __breadahead_gfp() helpers which use non-movable memory for buffer head allocations and use them for the ext4 superblock readahead.
