Subject: [PATCH RFC] xfs,
 memcg: Call xfs_fs_nr_cached_objects() only in case of global
 reclaim

xfs_reclaim_inodes_count(XFS_M(sb)) does not care about memcg.
So, it's called for memcg reclaim too, e.g. this list is shrinked
disproportionality to another lists.

This looks confusing, so I'm reporting about this.
Consider this patch as RFC.
