Subject: mm: page_alloc: calculate classzone_idx once from the zonelist ref

Dan Carpenter reported the following bug

	The patch a486e00b8283: "mm: page_alloc: calculate classzone_idx
	once from the zonelist ref" from May 17, 2014, leads to the
	following static checker warning:

        mm/page_alloc.c:2543 __alloc_pages_slowpath()
        warn: we tested 'nodemask' before and it was 'false'

mm/page_alloc.c
  2537           * Find the true preferred zone if the allocation is unconstrained by
  2538           * cpusets.
  2539           */
  2540          if (!(alloc_flags & ALLOC_CPUSET) && !nodemask) {
                                                     ^^^^^^^^^
Patch introduces this test.

  2541                  struct zoneref *preferred_zoneref;
  2542                  preferred_zoneref = first_zones_zonelist(zonelist, high_zoneidx,
  2543                                  nodemask ? : &cpuset_current_mems_allowed,
                                        ^^^^^^^^
Patch introduces this test as well.

  2544                                  &preferred_zone);
  2545                  classzone_idx = zonelist_zone_idx(preferred_zoneref);
  2546          }

This patch should resolve it and is a fix to the mmotm patch
mm-page_alloc-calculate-classzone_idx-once-from-the-zonelist-ref
