Reverting these changes seems inappropriate since the original patches
did improve most cases.
While doing direct reclamation without MOVABLE flags, scanning cma
folio doesn't help at all.

I assume that scanning cma folio provides additional opportunities to reclaim
anonymous memory, even though it is ineffective for allocating NON-MOVABLE
folios. Consequently, we alleviate pressure for future allocations of anonymous
folios. Moreover, setting swappiness=0 is a rare scenario. Instead of entirely
removing the mechanism, could we detect such corner cases and handle them
differently.
Otherwise, I don't see any chance of this being acknowledged.
