[PATCH] mm, page_alloc: only use per-cpu allocator for irq-safe requests -fix

[Mel Gorman]

preempt_enable_no_resched() was used based on review feedback that had no
strong objection at the time. It avoided introducing a preemption point
where one didn't exist before which was marginal at best.

However, it is hazardous to the RT tree according to Thomas Gleixner
and is a violation of its expected use according to Peter Zijlstra. In
Peter's own words "the only acceptable use of preempt_enable_no_resched()
is if the next statement is a schedule() variant".

The impact of using preempt_enable in this particular
fast path is negligible. This is a fix to the mmotm patch
mm-page_alloc-only-use-per-cpu-allocator-for-irq-safe-requests.patch
