Since commit c843966c556d ("mm: allow swappiness that prefers reclaiming
anon over the file workingset") has expended the swappiness value to
make swap to be preferred in some systems. We should also change the
memcg swappiness restriction to allow memcg swap-preferred.

Yes, this looks like an omission. It doesn't really make sense to have
two different constrains on the value.
