Subject: [PATCH 1/3] memcg: fix reclaimable lru check in memcg.

Now, in mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim(), mem_cgroup_local_usage()
is used for checking whether the memcg contains reclaimable pages
or not. If no pages in it, the routine skips it.

But, mem_cgroup_local_usage() contains Unevictable pages and cannot
handle "noswap" condition correctly. This doesn't work on a swapless
system.

This patch adds test_mem_cgroup_reclaimable() and replaces
mem_cgroup_local_usage(). test_mem_cgroup_reclaimable() see LRU
counter and returns correct answer to the caller.
And this new function has "noswap" argument and can see only
FILE LRU if necessary.

I do not see definition of mem_cgroup_node_nr_file_lru_pages for
!MAX_NUMNODES==1 (resp. !CONFIG_NUMA) and you are calling this function
also from that context.
