Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm: vmstat: Use a single setter function and callback for adjusting percpu thresholds

reduce_pgdat_percpu_threshold() and restore_pgdat_percpu_threshold()
exist to adjust the per-cpu vmstat thresholds while kswapd is awake to
avoid errors due to counter drift. The functions duplicate some code so
this patch replaces them with a single set_pgdat_percpu_threshold() that
takes a callback function to calculate the desired threshold as a
parameter.
