mm: vmscan: fix force-scanning small targets without swap
commit
a4d3e9e76337059406fcf3ead288c0df22a790e9 upstream.
Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. This patch augments an earlier commit
that avoids scanning priority being artificially raised. The older
fix was particularly important for small memcgs to avoid calling
wait_iff_congested() unnecessarily.
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.
This fixes
246e87a93934 ("memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small
targets").
