mm/page_alloc.c: avoid infinite retries caused by cpuset race

mm/page_alloc.c: avoid infinite retries caused by cpuset race

commit e05741fb10c38d70bbd7ec12b23c197b6355d519 upstream.

__alloc_pages_slowpath has no change detection for ac->nodemask in the
part of retry path, while cpuset can modify it in parallel.  For some
processes that set mempolicy as MPOL_BIND, this results ac->nodemask
changes, and then the should_reclaim_retry will judge based on the latest
nodemask and jump to retry, while the get_page_from_freelist only
traverses the zonelist from ac->preferred_zoneref, which selected by a
expired nodemask and may cause infinite retries in some cases

cpu 64:
__alloc_pages_slowpath {
        /* ..... */
retry:
        /* ac->nodemask = 0x1, ac->preferred->zone->nid = 1 */
        if (alloc_flags & ALLOC_KSWAPD)
                wake_all_kswapds(order, gfp_mask, ac);
        /* cpu 1:
        cpuset_write_resmask
            update_nodemask
                update_nodemasks_hier
                    update_tasks_nodemask
                        mpol_rebind_task
                         mpol_rebind_policy
                          mpol_rebind_nodemask
		// mempolicy->nodes has been modified,
		// which ac->nodemask point to

        */
        /* ac->nodemask = 0x3, ac->preferred->zone->nid = 1 */
        if (should_reclaim_retry(gfp_mask, order, ac, alloc_flags,
                                 did_some_progress > 0, &no_progress_loops))
                goto retry;
}

Simultaneously starting multiple cpuset01 from LTP can quickly reproduce
this issue on a multi node server when the maximum memory pressure is
reached and the swap is enabled
