It is expensive to drain per-cpu page lists as a thread is started on each
CPU, and we are waiting for them to complete.
Currently, we drain on every block of pages that is isolated. Instead lets
drain once after pages are isolated.
For example, when 2G of memory is hot-removed drain is called 16 times,
with this change it will be done only one time on average.
