mm, page_alloc: avoid looking up the first zone in a zonelist twice
The allocator fast path looks up the first usable zone in a zonelist and
then get_page_from_freelist does the same job in the zonelist iterator.
This patch preserves the necessary information.

The benefit is negligible and the results are within the noise but each
cycle counts.
