The fill_page_cache_func() is invoked and start from zero to allocate nr_pages of page, if the kfree_rcu_work() executes before the fill_page_cache_func(), the krcp->nr_bkv_objs is updated before enter for-loop and equal to nr_pages, since the page is allocated first, and then check the krcp->nr_bkv_objs in put_cached_bnode(), this produces a meaningless __get_free_page() call, this commit therefore make allocate page start from krcp->nr_bkv_objs and check krcp->nr_bkv_objs before allocate page.
