A bunch of drivers test the page before reusing/recycling for two common conditions: - if a page was allocated under memory pressure (pfmemalloc page); - if a page was allocated at a distant memory node (to exclude slowdowns). Introduce a new common inline for doing this, with likely() already folded inside to make driver code a bit simpler.

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.
