This is a follow-up series based on Vlastimil Babka's review feedback.
The first change is that the second patch in the previous series was dropped
as the patch "mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator"
is fine. The nodemask pointer is the same between cpuset retries. If the
zonelist changes due to ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS *and* it races with a cpuset
change then there is a second harmless pass through the page allocator.
Patches 1-3 are fixes for patches in mmotm. They should be taking into
account the changes in mmotm already made although that did involve
some guesswork. It should be relatively easy to merge into the correct
places. However, if there are major conflicts then let me know and I'll
respin the entire series.
Patches 4-6 are from Vlastimil with only minor modifications.
There is a marginal impact to the series but it's within the noise and
necessary to address the problems.
