Subject: [PATCH 0/3] [v2] Repair and clean up vm.zone_reclaim_mode sysctl ABI

A previous cleanup accidentally changed the vm.zone_reclaim_mode ABI.

This series restores the ABI and then reorganizes the code to make
the ABI more obvious.  Since the single-patch v1[1], I've:

 * Restored the RECLAIM_ZONE naming, comment and Documentation now
   that the implicit checks for it are known.
 * Move RECLAIM_* definitions to a uapi header
 * Add a node_reclaim_enabled() helper
