mm/percpu: make cached pages lookup explicit

Browse source

pcpu_depopulate_chunk() only needs the temporary pages array that was
already allocated by an earlier successful population attempt.  Passing
GFP_KERNEL to pcpu_get_pages() in this path is misleading because the
depopulation path is not expected to allocate the array.

Teach pcpu_get_pages() to treat a zero gfp mask as a cached-only lookup
and add pcpu_get_pages_cached() for that use case.  This keeps allocation
on the populate path tied to the caller supplied GFP mask while making the
depopulate path's dependency on the cached array explicit.
