Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm/page_alloc: Leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations -fix

As noted by Vlastimil Babka, the migratetype might be wrong if a PCP was
not locked so check the migrate type early. Similarly the !pcp check is
generally unlikely so explicitly tagging it makes sense.

This is a fix for the mm-unstable patch
mm-page_alloc-leave-irqs-enabled-for-per-cpu-page-allocations.patch
