Reclaim pressure balance between anon and file pages is calculated
through a tuple of numerators and a shared denominator.

Exceptional cases that want to force-scan anon or file pages configure
the numerators and denominator such that one list is preferred, which
is not necessarily the most obvious way:

    fraction[0] = 1;
    fraction[1] = 0;
    denominator = 1;
    goto out;

Make this easier by making the force-scan cases explicit and use the
fractionals only in case they are calculated from reclaim history.

And bring the variable declarations/definitions in order.

The if at the end looks like it should have been a switch maybe?

switch(scan_balance) {
case SCAN_EQUAL:
	/* Scan relative to size */
	break;
case SCAN_FRACT:
	/* Scan proportional to swappiness */
	scan = div64_u64(scan * fraction[file], denominator);
case SCAN_FILE:
case SCAN_ANON:
	/* Scan only file or only anon LRU */
	if ((scan_balance == SCAN_FILE) != file)
		scan = 0;
	break;
default:
	/* Look ma, no brain */
	BUG();
}
