Because kernbench is not at all good test for this.

I have checked dirty-log-perf myself with this patch [01-07].

GET_DIRTY_LOG for 1GB dirty pages has become more than 15% slower.

This is not a pure cleanup and introduces significant regression to
rmap handling.

This is the reason why I asked to remove "cleanup patches" from this
patch series.  Had it been really trivial cleanup, I would not have
asked that.


Note: if you had checked the worst case latency with this patch series,
you should have noticed this regression by yourself.

Auto-test and kernbench are not enough to see the effect of this work.

Thanks,
