[PATCH 2/2] mm: page_alloc: Do not cache reclaim distances

[Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de>]

pgdat->reclaim_nodes tracks if a remote node is allowed to be reclaimed by
zone_reclaim due to its distance. As it is expected that zone_reclaim_mode
will be rarely enabled it is unreasonable for all machines to take a penalty.
Fortunately, the zone_reclaim_mode() path is already slow and it is the path
that takes the hit.
