KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki ac34a1a3c3 memcg: fix direct softlimit reclaim to be called in limit path
Commit d149e3b25d ("memcg: add the soft_limit reclaim in global direct
reclaim") adds a softlimit hook to shrink_zones().  By this, soft limit
is called as

   try_to_free_pages()
       do_try_to_free_pages()
           shrink_zones()
               mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim()

Then, direct reclaim is memcg softlimit hint aware, now.

But, the memory cgroup's "limit" path can call softlimit shrinker.

   try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages()
       do_try_to_free_pages()
           shrink_zones()
               mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim()

This will cause a global reclaim when a memcg hits limit.

This is bug. soft_limit_reclaim() should be called when
scanning_global_lru(sc) == true.

And the commit adds a variable "total_scanned" for counting softlimit
scanned pages....it's not "total".  This patch removes the variable and
update sc->nr_scanned instead of it.  This will affect shrink_slab()'s
scan condition but, global LRU is scanned by softlimit and I think this
change makes sense.

TODO: avoid too much scanning of a zone when softlimit did enough work.
