This patch fixes unproductive reclaiming of CMA pages by skipping them when they
are not available for current context. It is arise from bellowing OOM issue, which
caused by large proportion of MIGRATE_CMA pages among free pages.

Putting the 'return' at the same level of indentation as the second half
of the conditional is wrong.  It confuses the reader.  Also, the &&
needs to go at the end of the line not the beginning (read the
codingstyle documentation!)  Also there's no good reason to use such
long lines.  ie do this instead:

	if (!current_is_kswapd() &&
			gfp_migratetype(sc->gfp_mask) != MIGRATE_MOVABLE &&
			get_pageblock_migratetype(page) == MIGRATE_CMA)
		return true;

if you prefer, this style of indent is also acceptable:

	if (!current_is_kswapd() &&
	    gfp_migratetype(sc->gfp_mask) != MIGRATE_MOVABLE &&
	    get_pageblock_migratetype(page) == MIGRATE_CMA)
		return true;

No, don't do this.

Don't add this completely unrelated whitespace change either.

Again, this is not where the || goes.

And skip_cma() should take a folio, not a page.  It's unreasonable
to ask you to convert get_pageblock_migratetype(),
get_pfnblock_flags_mask(), __get_pfnblock_flags_mask(), etc to
use a folio (... although someone looking for a project could do that
...).  Instead, you should do the folio->page conversion inside
skip_cma().

No unnecessary whitespace changes.
