Current pcpu_drain is defined as work_struct, which is not capable to
carry the zone information to drain pages. During __offline_pages(), the
code is sure the exact zone to drain pages. This will leads to
__offline_pages() to drain other zones which we don't want to touch and
to some extend increase the contention of the system.

This patch enable pcpu_drain with zone information, so that we could
drain pages on the exact zone.
