Subject: [PATCH 3.14 57/77] mm: page_alloc: lookup pageblock migratetype with IRQs enabled during free

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@...e.de>

commit cfc47a2803db42140167b92d991ef04018e162c7 upstream.

get_pageblock_migratetype() is called during free with IRQs disabled.
This is unnecessary and disables IRQs for longer than necessary.
