mm, page_alloc: move __GFP_HARDWALL modifications out of the fastpath
__GFP_HARDWALL only has meaning in the context of cpusets but the fast
path always applies the flag on the first attempt. Move the
manipulations into the cpuset paths where they will be masked by a
static branch in the common case.
With the other micro-optimisations in this series combined, the impact
on a page allocator microbenchmark is
