mm: optimize put_mems_allowed() usage
Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry, we don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some relative fast-paths. Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the seqcount interface. This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(), where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call is inverted from its previous incarnation.
