IRQs are left disabled for the zone and node VM event counters. This is unnecessary as the affected counters are allowed to race for preemmption and IRQs. This patch reduces the scope of IRQs being disabled via local_[lock|unlock]_irq on !PREEMPT_RT kernels. One __mod_zone_freepage_state is still called with IRQs disabled. While this could be moved out, it's not free on all architectures as some require IRQs to be disabled for mod_zone_page_state on !PREEMPT_RT kernels.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
