Subject: [PATCH 078/351] mm: perform lru_add_drain_all() remotely
Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=166029f4c6a938230690bb19a404b305f0ea9ae3

lru_add_drain_all() works by scheduling lru_add_drain_cpu() to run
on all CPUs that have non-empty LRU pagevecs and then waiting for
the scheduled work to complete. However, workqueue threads may never
have the chance to run on a CPU that's running a SCHED_FIFO task.
This causes lru_add_drain_all() to block forever.

This commit solves this problem by changing lru_add_drain_all()
to drain the LRU pagevecs of remote CPUs. This is done by grabbing
swapvec_lock and calling lru_add_drain_cpu().

PS: This is based on an idea and initial implementation by
    Rik van Riel.
