After reading the code, I am willing to do a little simplification. Does this
look good to you?

Subject: [PATCH] mm/migrate.c: return valid zone for wakeup_kswapd from
 migrate_balanced_pgdat()

To wakeup kswapd, we need to iterate pgdat->node_zones and get the
proper zone. While this work has already been done in
migrate_balanced_pgdat().

Let's return the valid zone directly instead of do the iteration again.
