[patch 1/4] mm: vmscan: remove remains of kswapd-managed zone->all_unreclaimable

[Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>]

shrink_zones() has a special branch to skip the all_unreclaimable()
check during hibernation, because a frozen kswapd can't mark a zone
unreclaimable.

But ever since 6e543d5780e3 ("mm: vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages()
livelock"), determining a zone to be unreclaimable is done by directly
looking at its scan history and no longer relies on kswapd setting the
per-zone flag.

Remove this branch and let shrink_zones() check the reclaimability of
the target zones regardless of hibernation state.
