From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx>
zone_reclaimable_pages considers all anonymous pages on LRUs reclaimable
if there is at least one entry on the swap storage left. This can be
really misleading when the swap is short on space and skew reclaim
decisions based on zone_reclaimable_pages. Fix this by clamping the
number to the minimum of the available swap space and anon LRU pages.
