Per-cpu pages can accidentally cause fragmentation because they are free, but
pinned pages in an otherwise contiguous block.  When this patch is applied,
the per-cpu caches are drained after the direct-reclaim is entered if the
requested order is greater than 0.  It simply reuses the code used by suspend
and hotplug.
