The patch titled
page allocator: do not call get_pageblock_migratetype() more than necessary
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

Subject: page allocator: do not call get_pageblock_migratetype() more than necessary
From: Mel Gorman <mel@xxxxxxxxx>
get_pageblock_migratetype() is potentially called twice for every page
free. Once, when being freed to the pcp lists and once when being freed
back to buddy. When freeing from the pcp lists, it is known what the
pageblock type was at the time of free so use it rather than rechecking.
In low memory situations under memory pressure, this might skew
anti-fragmentation slightly but the interference is minimal and decisions
that are fragmenting memory are being made anyway.
