A bunch of drivers test the page before reusing/recycling for two
common conditions:
- if a page was allocated under memory pressure (pfmemalloc page);
- if a page was allocated at a distant memory node (to exclude
slowdowns).
Introduce a new common inline for doing this, with likely() already
folded inside to make driver code a bit simpler.
