Sorry, I should have been more specific that I was talking about
mem_cgroup_reclaim_cookie path where the iteration for this particular
zone and priority ended at the last node without finishing the full
roundtrip last time. This new iteration (prev==NULL) wants to continue
and it should start a new roundtrip.
