mm, page_alloc: reset zonelist iterator after resetting fair zone allocation policy

Geert Uytterhoeven reported the following problem that bisected to
commit c33d6c06 ("mm, page_alloc: avoid looking up the first zone
in a zonelist twice") on m68k/ARAnyM

The relationship is not obvious but it's due to a failure to rescan the
full zonelist after the fair zone allocation policy exhausts the batch
count.  While this is a functional problem, it's also a performance
issue.  A page allocator microbenchmark showed the following

Note that order-0 allocations are unaffected but higher orders get a
small boost from this patch and a large reduction in system CPU usage
overall as can be seen here:
