Subject: mm, vmscan: prevent kswapd sleeping prematurely due to mismatched classzone_idx -fix
The patch "mm, vmscan: prevent kswapd sleeping prematurely due to mismatched
classzone_idx" has different initial starting conditions when kswapd
is asleep. kswapd initialises it properly when it starts but the patch
initialises kswapd_classzone_idx early and trips on a warning in
free_area_init_node. This patch leaves the kswapd_classzone_idx as zero
and defers to kswapd to initialise it properly when it starts.
This is a fix to the mmotm patch
mm-vmscan-prevent-kswapd-sleeping-prematurely-due-to-mismatched-classzone_idx.patch
