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.

v3: split commit into two, one for workqueue and one for mm, though both
