[PATCH] Optimize off-node performance of zone reclaim

Browse source 
Ensure that the performance of off node pages stays the same as before.
Off node pagefault tests showed an 18% drop in performance without this
patch.

- Increase the timeout to 30 seconds to reduce the overhead.

- Move all code possible out of the off node hot path for zone reclaim
  (Sorry Andrew, the struct initialization had to be sacrificed).
  The read_page_state() bit us there.

- Check first for the timeout before any other checks.
