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.
