mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock

Browse Source 
Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to
prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient.  Remote
draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every
task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is
expensive.

As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the
lists with a spinlock.  The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used
because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave.  spin_trylock
is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be
replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed.

The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after
this patch relative to before the series.

struct per_cpu_pages {
        spinlock_t                 lock;                 /*     0     4 */
        int                        count;                /*     4     4 */
        int                        high;                 /*     8     4 */
        int                        batch;                /*    12     4 */
        short int                  free_factor;          /*    16     2 */
        short int                  expire;               /*    18     2 */

        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

        struct list_head           lists[13];            /*    24   208 */

        /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */
        /* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
        /* padding: 24 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(64)));

There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even
though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case.  Page
Fault Test (PFT) running on a 1-socket reported the following results on a
1 socket machine.

Hmean     faults/sec-8  3965729.6187 (   0.00%)  3939727.0243 *  -0.66%*

There is a small hit in the number of faults per second but given that the
results are more stable, it's borderline noise.
