Wassim Dagash reported following kswapd infinite loop problem.
kswapd runs in some infinite loop trying to swap until order 10 of zone
highmem is OK.... kswapd will continue to try to balance order 10 of zone
highmem forever (or until someone release a very large chunk of highmem).
For non order-0 allocations, the system may never be balanced due to
fragmentation but kswapd should not infinitely loop as a result.
Instead, recheck all watermarks at order-0 as they are the most important.
If watermarks are ok, kswapd will go back to sleep.
