[PATCH 0/2] mm/mempolicy: Cleanup and optimization for weighted interleave

[Joshua Hahn <joshua.hahnjy@gmail.com>]

Two small patches for weighted interleave bulk allocaton.

The first patch simplifies the delta calculation needed for the allocations,
removing an if-else and performing unconditional additions instead.

The second patch makes a minor improvement to the weighted interleave bulk
allocation function by skipping a call to __alloc_pages_bulk.

Running a quick benchmark by compiling the kernel shows a small increase
in performance. These experiments were run on a machine with 2 nodes, each
with 125GB memory and 40 CPUs.
