Reviewed-by: Barry Song <baohua@...nel.org>

seems nice refactoring since we are going to skip the whole
function for lru_gen later:
static void prepare_scan_count(pg_data_t *pgdat, struct scan_control *sc)
{
        unsigned long file;
        struct lruvec *target_lruvec;

        if (lru_gen_enabled())
                return;
       ...
}
