Subject[PATCH 3/3] mm: when handling percpu_pagelist_fraction, use on_each_cpu() to set percpu pageset fields.
Date
In free_hot_cold_page(), we rely on pcp->batch remaining stable.
Updating it without being on the cpu owning the percpu pageset
potentially destroys this stability.

Change for_each_cpu() to on_each_cpu() to fix.
