kswapd checks all eligible zones to see if they need balancing even if it was
woken for a lower zone. This made sense when we reclaimed on a per-zone basis
because we wanted to shrink zones fairly so avoid age-inversion problems.
Ideally this is completely unnecessary when reclaiming on a per-node basis.
In theory, there may still be anomalies when all requests are for lower
zones and very old pages are preserved in higher zones but this should be
the exceptional case.
