ALSA: memalloc: use __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL for DMA mem allocs

Use __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL instead of __GFP__NORETRY in
snd_dma_dev_alloc(), snd_dma_wc_alloc() and friends, to allocate pages
for device memory. The MAYFAIL flag retains the semantics of not
triggering the OOM killer, but lowers the risk of alloc failure.

MAYFAIL flag was added in commit dcda9b0471 ("mm, tree wide: replace
__GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic").

This change addresses recurring failures with SOF audio driver in test
cases where a system suspend-resume stress test is run, combined with an
active high memory-load use-case. The failure typically shows up as:

[ 379.480229] sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl 0000:00:1f.3: booting DSP firmware
[ 379.484803] sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl 0000:00:1f.3: error: memory alloc failed: -12
[ 379.484810] sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl 0000:00:1f.3: error: dma prepare for ICCMAX stream failed

Multiple fixes to reduce the memory usage of DSP boot have been
identified in SOF driver, but even with those fixes, debug on affected
systems has shown that even a single page alloc may fail with
__GFP_NORETRY. When this occurs, system is under significant load on
physical memory, but a lot of reclaimable pages are available, so the
system has not run out of memory. With __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL, the errors
are not hit in these stress tests.

The alloc failure is severe as audio capability is completely lost if
alloc failure is hit at system resume.

An alternative solution was considered where the resources for DSP boot
would be kept allocated until driver is unbound. This would avoid the
allocation failure, but consume memory that is only needed temporarily
at probe and resume time. It seems better to not hang on to the memory,
but rather work a bit harder for allocating the pages at resume.
