[patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] mm: vmscan: call NUMA-unaware shrinkers irrespective of nodemask

From: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit ec97097bca147d5718a5d2c024d1ec740b10096d upstream.

If a shrinker is not NUMA-aware, shrink_slab() should call it exactly
once with nid=0, but currently it is not true: if node 0 is not set in
the nodemask or if it is not online, we will not call such shrinkers at
all.  As a result some slabs will be left untouched under some
circumstances.  Let us fix it.
