mm: vmscan: evaluate the watermarks against the correct classzone
When deciding if kswapd is sleeping prematurely, the classzone is taken
into account but this is different to what balance_pgdat() and the
allocator are doing. Specifically, the DMA zone will be checked based on
the classzone used when waking kswapd which could be for a GFP_KERNEL or
GFP_HIGHMEM request. The lowmem reserve limit kicks in, the watermark is
not met and kswapd thinks it's sleeping prematurely keeping kswapd awake in
error.
