fill_pool() checks locklessly at the beginning whether the pool has to be
refilled. After that it checks locklessly in a loop whether the free list
contains objects and repeats the refill check.
If both conditions are true, it acquires the pool lock and tries to move
objects from the free list to the pool repeating the same checks again.
There are two redundant issues with that:
1) The repeated check for the fill condition
2) The loop processing
The repeated check is pointless as it was just established that fill is
required. The condition has to be re-evaluated under the lock anyway.
The loop processing is not required either because there is practically
zero chance that a repeated attempt will succeed if the checks under the
lock terminate the moving of objects.
Remove the redundant check and replace the loop with a simple if condition.

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 reStructuredText 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.
