powerpc: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT
__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. {pud,pmd}_alloc_one are allocating from {PGT,PUD}_CACHE initialized in pgtable_cache_init which doesn't have larger than sizeof(void *) << 12 size and that fits into !costly allocation request size. PGALLOC_GFP is used only in radix__pgd_alloc which uses either order-0 or order-4 requests. The first one doesn't need the flag while the second does. Drop __GFP_REPEAT from PGALLOC_GFP and add it for the order-4 one. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
