From Marcus Alanen <maalanen@ra.abo.fi> Don't retake the zone lock after spilling a batch of pages into the buddy. Instead, just clear local variable `zone' to indicate that no lock is held. This is actually a common case - whenever release_pages() is called with exactly 16 pages (truncate, page reclaim..) Marcus' patch will save a lock and an unlock. Also, remove some lock-avoidance heuristics in pagevec_deactivate_inactive(): the caller has already made these checks, and the chance of the check here actually doing anything useful is negligible.
