zone_pcp_update()'s goal is to adjust the ->high and ->mark members of a
percpu pageset based on a zone's ->managed_pages.  We don't need to drain
the entire percpu pageset just to modify these fields.

This lets us avoid calling setup_pageset() (and the draining required to
call it) and instead allows simply setting the fields' values (with some
attention paid to memory barriers to prevent the relationship between
->batch and ->high from being thrown off).

This does change the behavior of zone_pcp_update() as the percpu pagesets
will not be drained when zone_pcp_update() is called (they will end up
being shrunk, not completely drained, later when a 0-order page is freed
in free_hot_cold_page()).
