mm: page_alloc: take the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK check out of the fast path
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK is set in a few cases. Always by kswapd, always for __GFP_MEMALLOC, sometimes for swap-over-nfs, tasks etc. Each of these cases are relatively rare events but the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK check is an unlikely branch in the fast path. This patch moves the check out of the fast path and after it has been determined that the watermarks have not been met. This helps the common fast path at the cost of making the slow path slower and hitting kswapd with a performance cost. It's a reasonable tradeoff.
