[ 27/40] kswapd: assign new_order and new_classzone_idx after wakeup in sleeping

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alex Shi <alex.shi@intel.com>

commit f0dfcde099453aa4c0dc42473828d15a6d492936 upstream.

Stable note: Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712019.  This
	patch reduces kswapd CPU usage.

There 2 places to read pgdat in kswapd.  One is return from a successful
balance, another is waked up from kswapd sleeping.  The new_order and
new_classzone_idx represent the balance input order and classzone_idx.

But current new_order and new_classzone_idx are not assigned after
kswapd_try_to_sleep(), that will cause a bug in the following scenario.

1: after a successful balance, kswapd goes to sleep, and new_order = 0;
   new_classzone_idx = __MAX_NR_ZONES - 1;

2: kswapd waked up with order = 3 and classzone_idx = ZONE_NORMAL

3: in the balance_pgdat() running, a new balance wakeup happened with
   order = 5, and classzone_idx = ZONE_NORMAL

4: the first wakeup(order = 3) finished successufly, return order = 3
   but, the new_order is still 0, so, this balancing will be treated as a
   failed balance.  And then the second tighter balancing will be missed.

So, to avoid the above problem, the new_order and new_classzone_idx need
to be assigned for later successful comparison.
