With nr_prmote trace, show that here are many folio
promoted before shrink check.
I just test by below cmd, and grep nr_reclaimed=0:
```
trace-cmd record -e vmscan:mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive\
stressapptest -M 8096 -s 120 -m 1 -W
trace-cmd report | grep "nr_reclaim\=0"
```
Then find many show like below:
```
<...>-9042 [001] 43.290759: mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive:
nid=0 nr_scanned=64 nr_reclaimed=0 nr_dirty=0 nr_writeback=0
nr_congested=0 nr_immediate=0 nr_activate_anon=0 nr_activate_file=1
nr_ref_keep=0 nr_unmap_fail=0 nr_promote=63 flags=RECLAIM_WB_FILE|RECLAIM_WB_ASYNC
```
Many scanned folio is promoted ahead. So, this promoted check better
checked before trylock folio.
And, now that promoted alread checked before touch, no need to trace it
anymore, remove this trace.
