mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of freed pages until a PCP drain
Every page free checks a number of page fields for validity. This catches premature frees and corruptions but it is also expensive. This patch weakens the debugging check by checking PCP pages at the time they are drained from the PCP list. This will trigger the bug but the site that freed the corrupt page will be lost. To get the full context, a kernel rebuild with DEBUG_VM is necessary.
