For a single argument we can directly request a page from a caller context when a "carry page block" is run out of free spots. Instead of hitting a slow path we can request an extra page by demand and proceed with a fast path. A single-argument kvfree_rcu() must be invoked in sleepable contexts, and that its fallback is the relatively high latency synchronize_rcu(). Single-argument kvfree_rcu() therefore uses GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL to allow limited sleeping within the memory allocator.
