Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: skip current when memcg reclaim

From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@...soc.com>

Reclaiming pages from current LRU will introduce page thrashing during direct
reclaiming. Have all memory contraint groups steal pages from the processes
under root(Non-memory sensitive) or other groups with lower thresholds(high
memory tolerance) or the one totally sleeping(not busy for the time being,
borrow some pages).With regard to all groups trapping into direct reclaim,
retry if first round failed and all groups still compete fairly.
