This change makes lru_add_drain_all() only selectively interrupt
the cpus that have per-cpu free pages that can be drained.
This is important in nohz mode where calling mlockall(), for
example, otherwise will interrupt every core unnecessarily.

Oops! In the previous version of this change I had just blindly patched
it forward from a slightly older version of mm/swap.c. This version is
now properly against a version of mm/swap.c that includes all the latest
changes to lru_add_drain_all().
