------------------------------------------------------
Subject: memcgroup: temporarily revert swapoff mod
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch precisely reverts the "swapoff: scan ptes preemptibly" patch
just presented.  It's a temporary measure to allow existing memory
controller patches to apply without rejects: in due course they should be
rendered down into one sensible patch, and this reversion disappear.
