mm: vmscan: evaluate the watermarks against the correct classzone 

When deciding if kswapd is sleeping prematurely, the classzone is taken
into account but this is different to what balance_pgdat() and the
allocator are doing.  Specifically, the DMA zone will be checked based on
the classzone used when waking kswapd which could be for a GFP_KERNEL or
GFP_HIGHMEM request.  The lowmem reserve limit kicks in, the watermark is
not met and kswapd thinks it's sleeping prematurely keeping kswapd awake in
error.
