I finally managed to repeat the benchmark to see the effects of
disabling alloc and free sanity checks by default ("mm, page_alloc:
reduce page alloc/free sanity checks"; results below).

Average huge page allocation latency drastically reduces by over 90% in
the single core case. However i can't see any real improvements for the
free operation.

Measurement results for the batch allocation benchmark for different
core counts: Internally used functions are alloc_pages_node() for
allocation (get) and __free_pages() for free (put).

Compared kernel versions are from the mm-unstable branch:
- Reference version (without the mentioned patch):
daf4bcbf2b72 ("mm: cma: make kobj_type structure constant")
- Patched version:
60114678f165 ("mm-page_alloc-reduce-page-alloc-free-sanity-checks-fix")
