From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: remove seemingly spurious reclaimability check from laptop_mode gating
1d82de618ddd ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes") allowed
laptop_mode=1 to start writing not just when the priority drops to
DEF_PRIORITY - 2 but also when the node is unreclaimable. That appears to
be a spurious change in this patch as I doubt the series was tested with
laptop_mode, and neither is that particular change mentioned in the
changelog. Remove it, it's still recent.
