Since the above now looks like this:

        page = alloc_slab_page(s, alloc_gfp, node, oo);
        if (unlikely(!page)) {
                oo = s->min;
                alloc_gfp = flags;
                /*
                 * Allocation may have failed due to fragmentation.
                 * Try a lower order alloc if possible
                 */
                page = alloc_slab_page(s, alloc_gfp, node, oo);

                if (page)
                        stat(s, ORDER_FALLBACK);
        }

        if (!page)
                goto out;

Why not have it do this:

        page = alloc_slab_page(s, alloc_gfp, node, oo);
        if (unlikely(!page)) {
                oo = s->min;
                alloc_gfp = flags;
                /*
                 * Allocation may have failed due to fragmentation.
                 * Try a lower order alloc if possible
                 */
                page = alloc_slab_page(s, alloc_gfp, node, oo);
                if (unlikely(!page))
                        goto out;

                stat(s, ORDER_FALLBACK);
        }

And get rid of the double check for !page in the fast path.
