We have separate LRU list for each memory cgroup.  Memory reclaim
iterates over cgroups and calls shrink_inactive_list() every inactive
LRU list.  Based on the state of a single LRU shrink_inactive_list() may
flag the whole node as dirty,congested or under writeback.  This is
obviously wrong and hurtful.  It's especially hurtful when we have
possibly small congested cgroup in system.  Than *all* direct reclaims
waste time by sleeping in wait_iff_congested().  And the more memcgs in
the system we have the longer memory allocation stall is, because
wait_iff_congested() called on each lru-list scan.

Sum reclaim stats across all visited LRUs on node and flag node as
dirty, congested or under writeback based on that sum.  Also call
congestion_wait(), wait_iff_congested() once per pgdat scan, instead of
once per lru-list scan.

This only fixes the problem for global reclaim case.  Per-cgroup reclaim
may alter global pgdat flags too, which is wrong.  But that is separate
issue and will be addressed in the next patch.

This change will not have any effect on a systems with all workload
concentrated in a single cgroup.
