If CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 is enabled, but we have not allocated the corresponding atomic_pool_dma32, dma_guess_pool() may return the NULL value of that and fail a GFP_DMA32 allocation without trying to fall back to other pools which may exist. Furthermore, if no GFP_DMA pool exists, it is preferable to try GFP_DMA32 rather than immediately fall back to GFP_KERNEL with even less chance of success. Improve matters by encoding an explicit order of pool preference for each flag.
