If the prototype does not fit, please wrap the argument list, not the
return value.  We are not consistent, but most functions are like this
in memcontrol.c and vmscan.c.

Please opencode these checks in the callsite, they are more
descriptive than the name of this function.

So we have zone_reclaimable_pages() and zone_nr_reclaimable_pages()
with completely different signatures and usecases.  Not good.

The intersection between a zone and a memcg is called an lruvec,
please use that.  Look up an lruvec as early as possible, then
implement lruvec_reclaimable_pages() etc. for use during reclaim.
