Use a single pcp list.
Having a hot and a cold pcp list means that cold pages are overlooked
when when a hot page is needed but none available. So a workload that is
doing heavy page reclaim will not take much advantage of the pcps for
minimising zone lock contention for the pages it is freeing up.
The same wastage applies the other way (eg. when the hot list fills up
and cold list is empty). The patch also takes care of that.
Disallow cold page allocation from taking hot pages though.
