[Offlist]

So, my idea is to embed struct deferred_split into struct mmu_gather and
make zap path to use it instead of per-node/per-memcg deferred_split. This
would avoid lock contention. If the list is not empty after zap, move the
to the per-node/per-memcg deferred_split.

But it is only relevant if we see lock contention.
