Page allocator: clean up pcp draining functions
- Add comments explaing how drain_pages() works.
- Eliminate useless functions
- Rename drain_all_local_pages to drain_all_pages(). It does drain
all pages not only those of the local processor.
- Eliminate useless interrupt off / on sequences. drain_pages()
disables interrupts on its own. The execution thread is
pinned to processor by the caller. So there is no need to
disable interrupts.
- Put drain_all_pages() declaration in gfp.h and remove the
declarations from suspend.h and from mm/memory_hotplug.c
- Make software suspend call drain_all_pages(). The draining
of processor local pages is may not the right approach if
software suspend wants to support SMP. If they call drain_all_pages
then we can make drain_pages() static.
