Steven Rostedt (Google) 62efb1e656 mm/rmap: fix misplaced parenthesis of a likely() 
commit f67f8d4a8c upstream.

Running my yearly branch profiler to see where likely/unlikely annotation
may be added or removed, I discovered this:

correct incorrect  %        Function                  File              Line
 ------- ---------  -        --------                  ----              ----
       0   457918 100 page_try_dup_anon_rmap         rmap.h               264
[..]
  458021        0   0 page_try_dup_anon_rmap         rmap.h               265

I thought it was interesting that line 264 of rmap.h had a 100% incorrect
annotation, but the line directly below it was 100% correct. Looking at the
code:

	if (likely(!is_device_private_page(page) &&
	    unlikely(page_needs_cow_for_dma(vma, page))))

It didn't make sense. The "likely()" was around the entire if statement
(not just the "!is_device_private_page(page)"), which also included the
"unlikely()" portion of that if condition.

If the unlikely portion is unlikely to be true, that would make the entire
if condition unlikely to be true, so it made no sense at all to say the
entire if condition is true.

What is more likely to be likely is just the first part of the if statement
before the && operation. It's likely to be a misplaced parenthesis. And
after making the if condition broken into a likely() && unlikely(), both
now appear to be correct!

README 

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.
