Patch 7 ("mm/page_alloc: replace local_lock with normal spinlock") has
been dropped for now due to ongoing issues, most recently
"BUG:sleeping_function_called_from_invalid_context_at_mm/gup.c". This
droppage exposed the issue which this patch
(mm-page_alloc-protect-pcp-lists-with-a-spinlock-fix.patch) addresses.
