This patch makes ALLOC_KSWAPD equal to __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM (cast to int).
Thanks to that code like:
if (gfp_mask & __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM)
alloc_flags |= ALLOC_KSWAPD;
can be changed to:
alloc_flags |= (__force int) (gfp_mask &__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM);
Thanks to this one branch less is generated in the assembly.
In case of ALLOC_KSWAPD flag two branches are saved, first one in code
that always executes in the beginning of page allocation and the second
one in loop in page allocator slowpath.

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.
