Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: vmscan: reclaim anon pages if there are swapcache pages

When spaces of swap devices are exhausted, only file pages can be reclaimed.
But there are still some swapcache pages in anon lru list. This can lead
to a premature out-of-memory.

This problem can be fixed by checking number of swapcache pages in
can_reclaim_anon_pages(). For memcg v2, there are swapcache stat that can
be used directly. For memcg v1, use total_swapcache_pages() instead, which
may not accurate but can solve the problem.
