Allocate post-processing target in place_pp_slot(). This simplifies scan_slots_for_writeback() and scan_slots_for_recompress() loops because we don't need to track pps pointer state anymore. Previously we have to explicitly NULL the point if it has been added to a post-processing bucket or re-use previously allocated pointer otherwise and make sure we don't leak the memory in the end. We are also fine doing GFP_NOIO allocation, as post-processing can be called under memory pressure so we better pick as many slots as we can as soon as we can and start post-processing them, possibly saving the memory. Allocation failure there is not fatal, we will post-process whatever we put into the buckets on previous iterations.

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.
