Revert "mm, page_alloc: only use per-cpu allocator for irq-safe reque…

…sts"

This reverts commit 374ad05.

While the patch worked great for userspace allocations, the fact that
softirq loses the per-cpu allocator caused problems.  It needs to be
redone taking into account that a separate list is needed for hard/soft
IRQs or alternatively find a cheap way of detecting reentry due to an
interrupt.  Both are possible but sufficiently tricky that it shouldn't
be rushed.

Jesper had one method for allowing softirqs but reported that the cost
was high enough that it performed similarly to a plain revert.  His
figures for netperf TCP_STREAM were as follows

  Baseline v4.10.0  : 60316 Mbit/s
  Current 4.11.0-rc6: 47491 Mbit/s
  Jesper's patch    : 60662 Mbit/s
  This patch        : 60106 Mbit/s

As this is a regression, I wish to revert to noirq allocator for now and
go back to the drawing board.
