kswapd is woken when zones are below the low watermark but the wakeup
decision is not taking the classzone into account.  Now that reclaim is
node-based, it is only required to wake kswapd once per node and only if
all zones are unbalanced for the requested classzone.

Note that one node might be checked multiple times but there is no cheap
way of tracking what nodes have already been visited for zoneslists that
be ordered by either zone or node.
