Subject: [PATCH 24/31] mm, vmscan: Avoid passing in classzone_idx unnecessarily to compaction_ready

The scan_control structure has enough information available for
compaction_ready() to make a decision. The classzone_idx manipulations in
shrink_zones() are no longer necessary as the highest populated zone is
no longer used to determine if shrink_slab should be called or not.
