mm/vmscan: fix unintended mtc->nmask mutation in alloc_demote_folio()

In alloc_demote_folio(), mtc->nmask is set to NULL for the first
allocation.  If that succeeds, it returns without restoring mtc->nmask to
allowed_mask.  For subsequent allocations from the migrate_pages() batch,
mtc->nmask will be NULL.  If the target node then becomes full, the
fallback allocation will use nmask = NULL, allocating from any node
allowed by the task cpuset, which for kswapd is all nodes.

To address this issue, use a local copy of the mtc structure with nmask =
NULL for the first allocation attempt specifically, ensuring the original
mtc remains unmodified.
