My preference is that zonelist_update_seq is not checked by !__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM
allocations, which is a low-hanging fruit towards GFP_LOCKLESS mentioned at
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/ZG3+l4qcCWTPtSMD@dhcp22.suse.cz and
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/ZJWWpGZMJIADQvRS@dhcp22.suse.cz .
Maybe we can defer checking zonelist_update_seq till retry check like below,
for this is really an infrequent event.
