This reverts commit c38446cc65e1f2b3eb8630c53943b94c4f65f670. Before the commit, the code makes senses to me but not after the commit. The "nr_reclaimed" is the number of pages reclaimed by scanning through the memcg's lru lists. The "nr_to_reclaim" is the target value for the whole function. For example, we like to early break the reclaim if reclaimed 32 pages under direct reclaim (not DEF_PRIORITY). After the reverted commit, the target "nr_to_reclaim" is decremented each time by "nr_reclaimed" but we still use it to compare the "nr_reclaimed". It just doesn't make sense to me...
