Subject:  [PATCH linux-next] mm: workingset: simplify the calculation of workingset size

From: Yang Yang <yang.yang29@....com.cn>

After we implemented workingset detection for anonymous LRU[1],
the calculation of workingset size is a little complex. Actually there is
no need to call mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages() if refault page is
anonymous page, since we are doing swapping then should always
give pressure to NR_ACTIVE_ANON.
So avoid using mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages() when handling
swapin in workingset_refault(). This also give us a chance to refactor
the code to make it simpler and more understandable.
