kswapd goes through some complex steps trying to figure out if it

It is unnecessarily complex and passes in an invalid classzone_idx to
balance_pgdat(). What matters most of all is whether a larger order has
been requsted and whether kswapd successfully reclaimed at the previous
order. This patch irons out the logic to check just that and the end result
is less headache inducing.

I'm just not entirely convinced that the direct full sleep bypass is worth the
added complexity. I can even imagine it being counter productive in some
situations. But it's not a big issue.
