Memcg reclaim doesn't suffer from this because the OOM killer is triggered after few unsuccessful attempts of the reclaim. Fix this by checking the number of scanned pages which is obviously 0 if nobody is eligible and also check that the whole tree hierarchy is not eligible and tell OOM it can go ahead.
