Subject: [PATCH v2 1/8] page_frag_cache: Remove pfmemalloc bool

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@...rosoft.com>

Save 4/8 bytes by moving the pfmemalloc indicator from its own bool
to the top bit of pagecnt_bias.  This has no effect on the fastpath
of the allocator since the pagecnt_bias cannot go negative.  It's
a couple of extra instructions in the slowpath.
