[PATCH 2/4] vmscan: drop PF_SWAPWRITE from zone_reclaim

Subject: [PATCH] vmscan: drop PF_SWAPWRITE from zone_reclaim

PF_SWAPWRITE mean ignore write congestion. (see may_write_to_queue())

foreground reclaim shouldn't ignore it because to write congested device cause
large IO lantency.
it isn't better than remote node allocation.
