Mel Gorman bd233f538d mm, page_alloc: use static global work_struct for draining per-cpu pages
As suggested by Vlastimil Babka and Tejun Heo, this patch uses a static
work_struct to co-ordinate the draining of per-cpu pages on the
workqueue.  Only one task can drain at a time but this is better than
the previous scheme that allowed multiple tasks to send IPIs at a time.

One consideration is whether parallel requests should synchronise
against each other.  This patch does not synchronise for a global drain
as the common case for such callers is expected to be multiple parallel
direct reclaimers competing for pages when the watermark is close to
min.  Draining the per-cpu list is unlikely to make much progress and
serialising the drain is of dubious merit.  Drains are synchonrised for
callers such as memory hotplug and CMA that care about the drain being
complete when the function returns.
