THP: avoid lock when check whether THP is in deferred list
free_transhuge_page() acquires split queue lock then check whether the THP
was added to deferred list or not. It brings high deferred queue lock
contention.
It's safe to check whether the THP is in deferred list or not without
holding the deferred queue lock in free_transhuge_page() because when code
hit free_transhuge_page(), there is no one tries to add the folio to
_deferred_list.
Running page_fault1 of will-it-scale + order 2 folio for anonymous
mapping with 96 processes on an Ice Lake 48C/96T test box, we could
see the 61% split_queue_lock contention:
- 63.02% 0.01% page_fault1_pro [kernel.kallsyms] [k] free_transhuge_page
- 63.01% free_transhuge_page
+ 62.91% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
With this patch applied, the split_queue_lock contention is less
than 1%.
