Since commit 682a3385e773 ("mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator") we replace a NULL nodemask with cpuset_current_mems_allowed in the fast path, so that get_page_from_freelist() filters nodes allowed by the cpuset via for_next_zone_zonelist_nodemask(). In that case it's pointless to additionaly check __cpuset_zone_allowed() in each iteration, which we can avoid by not adding ALLOC_CPUSET to alloc_flags in that scenario. This saves some cycles in the allocator fast path on systems with one or more non-root cpuset configured. In the slow path, ALLOC_CPUSET is reset according to __alloc_pages_slowpath(). Without configured cpusets, this code is disabled by a static key.
