Yeah, OK... And totally my fault! I think, I, personally, am done
with the "remove if" patches at this point, they are too painful.

Alexey, is there anything else we missed?

FWIW,

Andrew,
The allocation in question should be of a "too small to fail"
size, below PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. So unless that unspoken
rule has changed, we should be "fine", since that kmalloc()
simply should not fail. It still makes sense to have that
particular check in place, just in case. Can you please pull
this patch in? And, like I said, I'm going to NAK all future
micro-optimizations.
