When kswapd wakes up, it reads its order and classzone from pgdat and calls balance_pgdat. While its awake, it potentially reclaimes at a high order and a low classzone index. This might have been a once-off that was not required by subsequent callers. However, because the pgdat values were not reset, they remain artifically high while balance_pgdat() is running and potentially kswapd enters a second unnecessary reclaim cycle. Reset the pgdat order and classzone index after reading.
