mm: uninline page_xchg_last_nid()
Andrew Morton pointed out that page_xchg_last_nid() and reset_page_last_nid() were "getting nuttily large" and asked that it be investigated. reset_page_last_nid() is on the page free path and it would be unfortunate to make that path more expensive than it needs to be. Due to the internal use of page_xchg_last_nid() it is already too expensive but fortunately, it should also be impossible for the page->flags to be updated in parallel when we call reset_page_last_nid(). Instead of unlining the function, it uses a simplier implementation that assumes no parallel updates and should now be sufficiently short for inlining. page_xchg_last_nid() is called in paths that are already quite expensive (splitting huge page, fault handling, migration) and it is reasonable to uninline. There was not really a good place to place the function but mm/mmzone.c was the closest fit IMO. This patch saved 128 bytes of text in the vmlinux file for the kernel configuration I used for testing automatic NUMA balancing.
