mm/page_alloc: avoid second trylock of zone->lock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
spin_trylock followed by spin_lock will cause extra write cache access. 
If the lock is contended it may cause unnecessary cache line bouncing and
will execute redundant irq restore/save pair.  Therefore, check
alloc/fpi_flags first and use spin_trylock or spin_lock.
