[PATCH] mm-page_alloc-use-static-global-work_struct-for-draining-per-cpu-pages-fix

[Michal Hocko]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>

there is no need to have both pcpu_drain and pcpu_drain_mutex visible
outside of drain_all_pages. This might just attract abuse.

Hi Andrew, Mel,
I think this would be a good cleanup to be folded into
mm-page_alloc-use-static-global-work_struct-for-draining-per-cpu-pages.patch.
