mm: test and set zone reclaim lock before starting reclaim

Browse source 
Introduces new zone flag interface for testing and setting flags:

	int zone_test_and_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)

Instead of setting and clearing ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED each time shrink_zone() is
called, this flag is test and set before starting zone reclaim.  Zone reclaim
starts in __alloc_pages() when a zone's watermark fails and the system is in
zone_reclaim_mode.  If it's already in reclaim, there's no need to start again
so it is simply considered full for that allocation attempt.

There is a change of behavior with regard to concurrent zone shrinking.  It is
now possible for try_to_free_pages() or kswapd to already be shrinking a
particular zone when __alloc_pages() starts zone reclaim.  In this case, it is
possible for two concurrent threads to invoke shrink_zone() for a single zone.

This change forbids a zone to be in zone reclaim twice, which was always the
behavior, but allows for concurrent try_to_free_pages() or kswapd shrinking
when starting zone reclaim.
