Mel Gorman 1741c87757 mm: kswapd: keep kswapd awake for high-order allocations until a percentage of the node is balanced 
When reclaiming for high-orders, kswapd is responsible for balancing a
node but it should not reclaim excessively.  It avoids excessive reclaim
by considering if any zone in a node is balanced then the node is
balanced.  In the cases where there are imbalanced zone sizes (e.g.
ZONE_DMA with both ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_NORMAL), kswapd can go to sleep
prematurely as just one small zone was balanced.

This alters the sleep logic of kswapd slightly.  It counts the number of
pages that make up the balanced zones.  If the total number of balanced
pages is more than a quarter of the zone, kswapd will go back to sleep.
This should keep a node balanced without reclaiming an excessive number of
pages.
