Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc: call check_pcp_refill() while zone spinlock is not held

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

check_pcp_refill() is used from rmqueue_bulk() while zone spinlock
is held.

This used to be fine because check_pcp_refill() was testing only the
head page, while its 'struct page' was very hot in the cpu caches.

With ("mm/page_alloc: check high-order pages for corruption during PCP
operations") check_pcp_refill() will add latencies for high order pages.

We can defer the calls to check_pcp_refill() after the zone
spinlock has been released.
