Without swap, anonymous pages are not scanned.  As such, they should
not count when considering force-scanning a small target if there is
no swap.

Otherwise, targets are not force-scanned even when their effective
scan number is zero and the other conditions--kswapd/memcg--apply.
I forgot to mention, this patch is a fix for '246e87a memcg: fix
get_scan_count() for small targets', which went upstream this merge
window.

Probably makes sense to merge this one too before the release..?
Ah, I didn't realise that.  Thanks.
