cleanup kswapd_try_to_sleep() a little bit. Sometimes kswapd doesn't
really sleep. In such case, don't call prepare_to_wait/finish_wait.
It just wastes CPU.

Out of curiousity, under what circumstances is the CPU usage
noticeable? The patch itself seems fine so;
no, as the title says, this is a cleanup.
