Can we move this right on top of rcu_head? It's one of the coldest
entries. Also, long field names tend to be a bit painful. How about
just alloc_node?

There will only one of this work item and if queued on nrt wq, only
one instance would be running. Why not just create static ps[NR_POLS]
array and fill it here.

and install everything here at one go.

remove it from alloc list while holding alloc lock, unlock and go for
retrying or exit and don't worry about stats_cpu left in ps[] as we're
gonna be using that again later anyway.

Do we need this nested inside blkcg->lock? What's wrong with doing it
after release blkcg->lock?

Why put the whole thing inside the alloc lock?

Thanks.
