mm, page_alloc: enable pcpu_drain with zone capability
drain_all_pages is documented to drain per-cpu pages for a given zone (if non-NULL). The current implementation doesn't match the description though. It will drain all pcp pages for all zones that happen to have cached pages on the same cpu as the given zone. This will lead to premature pcp cache draining for zones that are not of any interest to the caller - e.g. compaction, hwpoison or memory offline. This forces the page allocator to take locks and potential lock contention as a result. There is no real reason for this sub-optimal implementation. Replace per-cpu work item with a dedicated structure which contains a pointer to the zone and pass it over to the worker. This will get the zone information all the way down to the worker function and do the right job.
