[PATCH] prevent to reclaim anon page of lumpy reclaim for no swap space

[Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com>]

This patch prevent to reclaim anon page in case of no swap space.
VM already prevent to reclaim anon page in various place.
But it doesnt't prevent it for lumpy reclaim.

It shuffles lru list unnecessary so that it is pointless.
