This change makes lru_add_drain_all() only selectively interrupt
the cpus that have per-cpu free pages that can be drained.
This is important in nohz mode where calling mlockall(), for
example, otherwise will interrupt every core unnecessarily.

v8: Here's an actual git patch after Tejun's review.
Pull everything inline into lru_add_drain_all(), and use
a mutex plus build-time allocated work_structs to avoid allocation.
v7: try a version with callbacks instead of cpu masks.
Either this or v6 seem like reasonable solutions.
v6: add Tejun's Acked-by, and add missing get/put_cpu_online to
lru_add_drain_all().
v5: provide validity checking on the cpumask for schedule_on_cpu_mask.
By providing an all-or-nothing EINVAL check, we impose the requirement
that the calling code actually know clearly what it's trying to do.
(Note: no change to the mm/swap.c commit)
v4: don't lose possible -ENOMEM in schedule_on_each_cpu()
(Note: no change to the mm/swap.c commit)
v3: split commit into two, one for workqueue and one for mm, though both
should probably be taken through -mm.
