Subject: mm/page_alloc: drain the requested list first during bulk free
Prior to the series, pindex 0 (order-0 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE) was always
skipped first and the precise reason is forgotten. A potential reason may
have been to artificially preserve MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE but there is no
reason why that would be optimal as it depends on the workload. The more
likely reason is that it was less complicated to do a pre-increment
instead of a post-increment in terms of overall code flow. As
free_pcppages_bulk() now typically receives the pindex of the PCP list
that exceeded high, always start draining that list.
