[PATCH] Revert "mm/page_alloc: protect pcp->batch accesses with ACCESS_ONCE"

From: He Kuang
Date: Wed Mar 30 2016 - 06:22:47 EST


This reverts commit 998d39cb236fe464af86a3492a24d2f67ee1efc2.

When local irq is disabled, a percpu variable does not change, so we can
remove the access macros and let the compiler optimize the code safely.
