Draining of pages from the local pcp for a remote zone should not be
necessary, since once the system is low on memory (or compaction on a
zone is in effect), drain_all_pages should be called freeing any unused
pcps.
For reference, the original commit which introduces remote node
draining is 4037d452202e34214e8a939fa5621b2b3bbb45b7.
