Waiman Long 405cc51fc1 mm/list_lru: optimize memcg_reparent_list_lru_node()
Since commit 2c80cd57c743 ("mm/list_lru.c: fix list_lru_count_node() to
be race free"), we are tracking the total number of lru entries in a
list_lru_node in its nr_items field.

In the case of memcg_reparent_list_lru_node(), there is nothing to be
done if nr_items is 0.  We don't even need to take the nlru->lock as no
new lru entry could be added by a racing list_lru_add() to the draining
src_idx memcg at this point.

On systems that serve a lot of containers, it is possible that there can
be thousands of list_lru's present due to the fact that each container
may mount its own container specific filesystems.  As a typical
container uses only a few cpus, it is likely that only the list_lru_node
that contains those cpus will be utilized while the rests may be empty.
In other words, there can be a lot of list_lru_node with 0 nr_items.

By skipping a lock/unlock operation and loading a cacheline from
memcg_lrus, a sizeable number of cpu cycles can be saved.  That can be
substantial if we are talking about thousands of list_lru_node's with 0
nr_items.
