mm, vmscan: simplify the logic deciding whether kswapd sleeps
kswapd goes through some complex steps trying to figure out if it should stay awake based on the classzone_idx and the requested order. It is unnecessarily complex and passes in an invalid classzone_idx to balance_pgdat(). What matters most of all is whether a larger order has been requsted and whether kswapd successfully reclaimed at the previous order. This patch irons out the logic to check just that and the end result is less headache inducing.
