[PATCH][mmotm] don't attempt to reclaim anon page in lumpy reclaim when no swap space is available

[PATCH][mmotm] don't attempt to reclaim anon page in lumpy reclaim when no swap space is available

[Minchan Kim]

This patch is based on mmotm 2009-07-02-19-57 reverted 
'vmscan: don't attempt to reclaim anon page in lumpy reclaim when no swap space is available.'

This verssion is better than old one.
That's because enough swap space check is done in case of only lumpy reclaim. 
so it can't degrade performance in normal case.

== CUT HERE ==

VM already avoids attempting to reclaim anon pages in various places, But
it doesn't avoid it for lumpy reclaim.

It shuffles lru list unnecessary so that it is pointless.
