When entering the page_alloc slowpath, we wakeup kswapd on every pgdat
according to the zonelist and high_zoneidx.  However, this doesn't take
nodemask into account, and could prematurely wakeup kswapd on some
unintended nodes.

This patch uses for_each_zone_zonelist_nodemask() instead of
for_each_zone_zonelist() in wake_all_kswapds() to avoid the above
situation.
