Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable v1 5/5] mm/mglru: improve swappiness handling

The reclaimable number of anon pages used to set initial reclaim
priority is only based on get_swappiness(). Use can_reclaim_anon_pages()
to include NUMA node demotion.

Also move the swappiness handling of when !__GFP_IO in
try_to_shrink_lruvec() into isolate_folios().
