From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx>
Introduce free_pages_nolock() that can free pages without taking locks.
It relies on trylock and can be called from any context.
Since spin_trylock() cannot be used in PREEMPT_RT from hard IRQ or NMI
it uses lockless link list to stash the pages which will be freed
by subsequent free_pages() from good context.
Do not use llist unconditionally. BPF maps continuously
allocate/free, so we cannot unconditionally delay the freeing to
llist. When the memory becomes free make it available to the
kernel and BPF users right away if possible, and fallback to
llist as the last resort.
