mm/list_lru: make the case where mlru is NULL as unlikely
In the following memcg_list_lru_alloc() function, mlru here is almost
always NULL, so in most cases this should save a function call, mark mlru
as unlikely to optimize the code, and reusing the mlru for the next
attempt when the tree insertion fails.
do {
xas_lock_irqsave(&xas, flags);
if (!xas_load(&xas) && !css_is_dying(&pos->css)) {
xas_store(&xas, mlru);
if (!xas_error(&xas))
mlru = NULL;
}
xas_unlock_irqrestore(&xas, flags);
} while (xas_nomem(&xas, GFP_KERNEL));
> if (mlru)
kfree(mlru);
