3e32cb2e0a12 ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters") accidentally
switched the soft limit default from infinity to zero, which turns all
memcgs with even a single page into soft limit excessors and engages
soft limit reclaim on all of them during global memory pressure. This
makes global reclaim generally more aggressive, but also inverts the
meaning of existing soft limit configurations where unset soft limits
are usually more generous than set ones.
