With node-lru, the locking is based on the pgdat. Previously it was
required that a pagevec drain released one zone lru_lock and acquired
another zone lru_lock on every zone change. Now, it's only necessary if
the node changes. The end-result is fewer lock release/acquires if the
pages are all on the same node but in different zones.
