Qian Cai 4a55c0474a mm/hotplug: silence a lockdep splat with printk()
It is not that hard to trigger lockdep splats by calling printk from
under zone->lock.  Most of them are false positives caused by lock
chains introduced early in the boot process and they do not cause any
real problems (although most of the early boot lock dependencies could
happen after boot as well).  There are some console drivers which do
allocate from the printk context as well and those should be fixed.  In
any case, false positives are not that trivial to workaround and it is
far from optimal to lose lockdep functionality for something that is a
non-issue.

So change has_unmovable_pages() so that it no longer calls dump_page()
itself - instead it returns a "struct page *" of the unmovable page back
to the caller so that in the case of a has_unmovable_pages() failure,
the caller can call dump_page() after releasing zone->lock.  Also, make
dump_page() is able to report a CMA page as well, so the reason string
from has_unmovable_pages() can be removed.

Even though has_unmovable_pages doesn't hold any reference to the
returned page this should be reasonably safe for the purpose of
reporting the page (dump_page) because it cannot be hotremoved in the
context of memory unplug.  The state of the page might change but that
is the case even with the existing code as zone->lock only plays role
for free pages.

While at it, remove a similar but unnecessary debug-only printk() as
well.  A sample of one of those lockdep splats is,

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
