Currently, we have a sort of retry mechanism to make sure pages in
pcp-lists are spilled to the buddy system, so we can handle those.

We can save us this extra checks with the new disable-pcplist mechanism
that is available with [1].

zone_pcplist_disable makes sure to 1) disable pcplists, so any page
that is freed up from that point onwards will end up in the buddy
system and 2) drain pcplists, so those pages that already in pcplists
are spilled to buddy.

With that, we can make a common entry point for grabbing a refcount
from both soft_offline and memory_failure paths that is guarded by
zone_pcplist_disable/zone_pcplist_enable.

Note as you say the series should go after [1] above, which means after mm-page_alloc-disable-pcplists-during-memory-offline.patch in mmots, but currently it's ordered before, where zone_pcp_disable() etc doesn't yet exist. Found out as I review using checked out this commit from -next.
