Subject: [PATCH  9/21] make-get_scan_ratio-to-memcg-safe.patch

Currently, get_scan_ratio() always calculate the balancing value for global reclaim and
memcg reclaim doesn't use it.
Therefore it doesn't have scan_global_lru() condition.

However, we plan to expand get_scan_ratio() to be usable for memcg too, latter.
Then, The dependency code of global reclaim in the get_scan_ratio() insert into
scan_global_lru() condision explictly.


this patch doesn't have any functional change.
