I dislike this patch, because I don't see any reason why logic specific
to per memcg reclaim should live in the file representing the global
reclaim path. With such an approach you may end up with moving
mem_cgroup_low, mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim, etc to vmscan.c, because
they are used only there. I don't think it's right.

Thanks,
Vladimir
