If ALLOC_KSWAPD is set, wake_all_kswapds() will be called to ensure
kswapd doesn't accidentally go to sleep. But when reserve_flags is
set, alloc_flags will be overwritten and ALLOC_KSWAPD is thus lost.
Preserve the ALLOC_KSWAPD flag in alloc_flags to ensure kswapd won't
go to sleep accidentally.

Fixes: 0a79cdad5eb2 ("mm: use alloc_flags to record if kswapd can wake")
