The first
phase prepares the region for the change, allocating any necessary memory,
without actually making the change.  The second phase actually commits the
change.  This patch makes use of this by checking the reservations before
the page_table_lock is taken; triggering any necessary allocations.  This
may then be safely repeated within the locks without any allocations being
required.

Credit to Mel Gorman for diagnosing this failure and initial versions of
the patch.
