mm/page_alloc: convert per-cpu list protection to local_lock

Browse Source 
There is a lack of clarity of what exactly
local_irq_save/local_irq_restore protects in page_alloc.c .  It conflates
the protection of per-cpu page allocation structures with per-cpu vmstat
deltas.

This patch protects the PCP structure using local_lock which for most
configurations is identical to IRQ enabling/disabling.  The scope of the
lock is still wider than it should be but this is decreased later.

It is possible for the local_lock to be embedded safely within struct
per_cpu_pages but it adds complexity to free_unref_page_list.
