Subject: [PATCH -V11 7/9] mm/vmscan: Consider anonymous pages without swap

From: Keith Busch <kbusch@...nel.org>

Reclaim anonymous pages if a migration path is available now that demotion
provides a non-swap recourse for reclaiming anon pages.

Note that this check is subtly different from the can_age_anon_pages()
checks.  This mechanism checks whether a specific page in a specific
context can actually be reclaimed, given current swap space and cgroup
limits.

can_age_anon_pages() is a much simpler and more preliminary check which
just says whether there is a possibility of future reclaim.
