Subject: mm: remove lru_add_drain_all in alloc_contig_range
__alloc_contig_migrate_range already has lru_add_drain_all call via
migrate_prep. It's necessary to move LRU taget pages into LRU list to be
able to isolated. However, lru_add_drain_all call after
__alloc_contig_migrate_range is pointless since it has changed source page
freeing from putback_lru_pages to put_page[1].
This patch removes it.
