The generation number in struct mem_cgroup_reclaim_iter should be
incremented on every round-trip. Currently, it is possible for a
concurrent reclaimer to jump in at the end of the hierarchy, causing a
traversal restart (resetting the iteration position) without
incrementing the generation number.
Move the traversal restart such that the generation number is
incremented before the restart.
