Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: make lru_add_drain_all() selective
This change makes lru_add_drain_all() only selectively interrupt
the cpus that have per-cpu free pages that can be drained.
This is important in nohz mode where calling mlockall(), for
example, otherwise will interrupt every core unnecessarily.
Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@...era.com>

Oops! In the previous version of this change I had just blindly patched
it forward from a slightly older version of mm/swap.c. This version is
now properly against a version of mm/swap.c that includes all the latest
changes to lru_add_drain_all().
