Subject: [resend][PATCH] mm: Restore zone->all_unreclaimable to independence word

commit e815af95 (change all_unreclaimable zone member to flags) chage
all_unreclaimable member to bit flag. but It have undesireble side
effect.
free_one_page() is one of most hot path in linux kernel and increasing
atomic ops in it can reduce kernel performance a bit.

Thus, this patch revert such commit partially. at least
all_unreclaimable shouldn't share memory word with other zone flags.
