Subject: [PATCH RESEND] mm: Optimize put_mems_allowed() usage
This is a resend of an old patch of Peter's. It lived in Andrew's
tree and one point and in the tip tree at another but never made it to
mainline. I suspect it fell between the tracks because the patch itself
is not objectionable.

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>
Subject: mm: Optimize put_mems_allowed() usage
Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry,
we don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact
successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some
relative fast-paths.
Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory
pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the
seqcount interface.
This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and
read_mems_allowed_retry(), where it is important to note that the
return value of the latter call is inverted from its previous
incarnation.
