[PATCH v2] mm: remove lru_add_drain_all in alloc_contig_range

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Wed Feb 10 2021 - 11:06:05 EST


__alloc_contig_migrate_range already has lru_add_drain_all call
via migrate_prep. It's necessary to move LRU taget pages into
LRU list to be able to isolated. However, lru_add_drain_all call
after __alloc_contig_migrate_range is pointless since it has changed
source page freeing from putback_lru_pages to put_page[1].

This patch removes it.
