Subject: zone reclaim with slab: avoid unecessary off node allocations
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>
Minor performance fix.
If we reclaimed enough slab pages from a zone then we can avoid going off
node with the current allocation. Take care of updating nr_reclaimed when
reclaiming from the slab.
