BACKPORT: mm/page_alloc: add page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list

Patch series "Drain remote per-cpu directly", v5.

Some setups, notably NOHZ_FULL CPUs, may be running realtime or
latency-sensitive applications that cannot tolerate interference due to
per-cpu drain work queued by __drain_all_pages().  Introduce a new
mechanism to remotely drain the per-cpu lists.  It is made possible by
remotely locking 'struct per_cpu_pages' new per-cpu spinlocks.  This has
two advantages, the time to drain is more predictable and other unrelated
tasks are not interrupted.

This series has the same intent as Nicolas' series "mm/page_alloc: Remote
per-cpu lists drain support" -- avoid interference of a high priority task
due to a workqueue item draining per-cpu page lists.  While many workloads
can tolerate a brief interruption, it may cause a real-time task running
on a NOHZ_FULL CPU to miss a deadline and at minimum, the draining is
non-deterministic.

Currently an IRQ-safe local_lock protects the page allocator per-cpu
lists.  The local_lock on its own prevents migration and the IRQ disabling
protects from corruption due to an interrupt arriving while a page
allocation is in progress.

This series adjusts the locking.  A spinlock is added to struct
per_cpu_pages to protect the list contents while local_lock_irq is
ultimately replaced by just the spinlock in the final patch.  This allows
a remote CPU to safely.  Follow-on work should allow the spin_lock_irqsave
to be converted to spin_lock to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most
cases.  The follow-on patch will be one kernel release later as it is
relatively high risk and it'll make bisections more clear if there are any
problems.

Patch 1 is a cosmetic patch to clarify when page->lru is storing buddy pages
	and when it is storing per-cpu pages.

Patch 2 shrinks per_cpu_pages to make room for a spin lock. Strictly speaking
	this is not necessary but it avoids per_cpu_pages consuming another
	cache line.

Patch 3 is a preparation patch to avoid code duplication.

Patch 4 is a minor correction.

Patch 5 uses a spin_lock to protect the per_cpu_pages contents while still
	relying on local_lock to prevent migration, stabilise the pcp
	lookup and prevent IRQ reentrancy.

Patch 6 remote drains per-cpu pages directly instead of using a workqueue.

Patch 7 uses a normal spinlock instead of local_lock for remote draining

This patch (of 7):

The page allocator uses page->lru for storing pages on either buddy or PCP
lists.  Create page->buddy_list and page->pcp_list as a union with
page->lru.  This is simply to clarify what type of list a page is on in
the page allocator.

No functional change intended.
