When a reclaim scanner is doing its final scan before giving up and
there is swap space available, pay no attention to swappiness
preference anymore. Just swap.
Note that this change won't make too big of a difference for general
reclaim: anonymous pages are already force-scanned when there is only
very little file cache left, and there very likely isn't when the
reclaimer enters this final cycle.
