Subject: [RESEND PATCH] mm: bail out from partial cgroup_reclaim inside shrink_lruvec

From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@...soc.com>

Nowadays, ANDROID system replaces madivse with memory.reclaim to implement
user space memory management which desires to reclaim a certain amount of
memcg's memory. However, oversized reclaiming and high latency are observed
as there is no limitation over nr_reclaimed inside try_to_shrink_lruvec
when MGLRU enabled. Besides, this could also affect all none root_reclaim
such as reclaim_high etc.
The commit 'b82b530740b9' ("mm: vmscan: restore incremental cgroup
iteration") introduces sc->memcg_full_walk to limit the walk range of
mem_cgroup_iter. This commit would like to make single memcg's scanning
more precised by judging if nr_reclaimed reached when sc->memcg_full_walk
not set.
