Changes in v5:
- Rewrote commit log and added documentation of this (Michal).
Changes in v4:
- Removed unneeded reclaim_options local variables (Andrew).
Changes in v3:
- Limited the vmpressure change to memory.reclaim, dropped psi changes,
updated changelog to reflect new behavior (Michal, Shakeel)
Changes in v2:
- Removed unnecessary initializations to zero (Andrew).
- Separate declarations and initializations when it causes line wrapping
(Andrew).
