[PATCH 10/31] mm, vmscan: remove duplicate logic clearing node congestion and dirty state

[Mel Gorman]

Reclaim may stall if there is too much dirty or congested data on a node.
This was previously based on zone flags and the logic for clearing the
flags is in two places.  As congestion/dirty tracking is now tracked on a
per-node basis, we can remove some duplicate logic.
