After appling the series patches(mm: fix page aging across multiple cgroups),
cgroup memory reclaim strategy is based on reclaim root's inactive:active
ratio. if the target lruvec need to deactivate, its children cgroup also will
deactivate. That will result in hot page to be reclaimed and other cgroup's
cold page will be left, which is not expected.

The patch will not force deactivate when inactive_is_low is not true unless
we has scanned the inactive list and memory is unable to reclaim.
