Subject: [PATCH] mm, page_alloc: move cpuset seqcount checking to slowpath

commit 5ce9bfef1d27944c119a397a9d827bef795487ce upstream.

This is a preparation for the following patch to make review simpler.
While the primary motivation is a bug fix, this also simplifies the fast
path, although the moved code is only enabled when cpusets are in use.
