Subject: mm, page_alloc: pull out side effects from free_pages_check
Check without side-effects should be easier to maintain. It also removes
the duplicated cpupid and flags reset done in !DEBUG_VM variant of both
free_pcp_prepare() and then bulkfree_pcp_prepare(). Finally, it enables
the next patch.
It shouldn't result in new branches, thanks to inlining of the check.
!DEBUG_VM bloat-o-meter:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-27 (-27)
function old new delta
__free_pages_ok 748 739 -9
free_pcppages_bulk 1403 1385 -18
DEBUG_VM:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-28 (-28)
function old new delta
free_pages_prepare 806 778 -28
This is also slightly faster because cpupid information is not set on tail
pages so we can avoid resets there.
