[PATCH] cpuset: combine refresh_mems and update_mems
The important code paths through alloc_pages_current() and alloc_page_vma(), by which most kernel page allocations go, both called cpuset_update_current_mems_allowed(), which in turn called refresh_mems(). -Both- of these latter two routines did a tasklock, got the tasks cpuset pointer, and checked for out of date cpuset->mems_generation. That was a silly duplication of code and waste of CPU cycles on an important code path. Consolidated those two routines into a single routine, called cpuset_update_task_memory_state(), since it updates more than just mems_allowed. Changed all callers of either routine to call the new consolidated routine.
