[PATCH 5/6] mm: kswapd: Treat zone->all_unreclaimable in sleeping_prematurely similar to balance_pgdat()

[Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie>]

After DEF_PRIORITY, balance_pgdat() considers all_unreclaimable zones to
be balanced but sleeping_prematurely does not. This can force kswapd to
stay awake longer than it should. This patch fixes it.
