[RFC] mm/zsmalloc: remove redundant SetPagePrivate2 in create_page_chain

From: Yisheng Xie
Date: Tue Feb 14 2017 - 07:52:38 EST


We had used page->lru to link the component pages (except the first
page) of a zspage, and used INIT_LIST_HEAD(&page->lru) to init it.
Therefore, to get the last page's next page, which is NULL, we had to
use page flag PG_Private_2 to identify it.

But now, we use page->freelist to link all of the pages in zspage and
init the page->freelist as NULL for last page, so no need to use
PG_Private_2 anymore.

This patch is to remove redundant SetPagePrivate2 in create_page_chain
and ClearPagePrivate2 in reset_page(). Maybe can save few cycles for
migration of zsmalloc page :)
