We can use the newly introduced kmalloc-reclaimable-X caches, to allocate
external names in dcache, which will take care of the proper accounting
automatically, and also improve anti-fragmentation page grouping.

This effectively reverts commit f1782c9bc547 ("dcache: account external names
as indirectly reclaimable memory") and instead passes __GFP_RECLAIMABLE to
kmalloc(). The accounting thus moves from NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES to
NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE, which is also considered in MemAvailable calculation and
overcommit decisions.
