Shakeel Butt 27ce6c2675 mm/vmscan.c: prevent useless kswapd loops 
commit dffcac2cb8 upstream.

In production we have noticed hard lockups on large machines running
large jobs due to kswaps hoarding lru lock within isolate_lru_pages when
sc->reclaim_idx is 0 which is a small zone.  The lru was couple hundred
GiBs and the condition (page_zonenum(page) > sc->reclaim_idx) in
isolate_lru_pages() was basically skipping GiBs of pages while holding
the LRU spinlock with interrupt disabled.

On further inspection, it seems like there are two issues:

(1) If kswapd on the return from balance_pgdat() could not sleep (i.e.
    node is still unbalanced), the classzone_idx is unintentionally set
    to 0 and the whole reclaim cycle of kswapd will try to reclaim only
    the lowest and smallest zone while traversing the whole memory.

(2) Fundamentally isolate_lru_pages() is really bad when the
    allocation has woken kswapd for a smaller zone on a very large machine
    running very large jobs.  It can hoard the LRU spinlock while skipping
    over 100s of GiBs of pages.

This patch only fixes (1).  (2) needs a more fundamental solution.  To
fix (1), in the kswapd context, if pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx is
invalid use the classzone_idx of the previous kswapd loop otherwise use
the one the waker has requested.
