Mel Gorman e46e7b77c9 mm, page_alloc: recalculate the preferred zoneref if the context can ignore memory policies
The optimistic fast path may use cpuset_current_mems_allowed instead of
of a NULL nodemask supplied by the caller for cpuset allocations.  The
preferred zone is calculated on this basis for statistic purposes and as
a starting point in the zonelist iterator.

However, if the context can ignore memory policies due to being atomic
or being able to ignore watermarks then the starting point in the
zonelist iterator is no longer correct.  This patch resets the zonelist
iterator in the allocator slowpath if the context can ignore memory
policies.  This will alter the zone used for statistics but only after
it is known that it makes sense for that context.  Resetting it before
entering the slowpath would potentially allow an ALLOC_CPUSET allocation
to be accounted for against the wrong zone.  Note that while nodemask is
not explicitly set to the original nodemask, it would only have been
overwritten if cpuset_enabled() and it was reset before the slowpath was
entered.
