vmscan: kill hibernation specific reclaim logic and unify it

shrink_all_zone() was introduced by commit d6277db4 (swsusp: rework
memory shrinker) for hibernate performance improvement.  and
sc.swap_cluster_max was introduced by commit a06fe4d307 (Speed freeing
memory for suspend).

commit a06fe4d307 said

   Without the patch:
   Freed  14600 pages in  1749 jiffies = 32.61 MB/s (Anomolous!)
   Freed  88563 pages in 14719 jiffies = 23.50 MB/s
   Freed 205734 pages in 32389 jiffies = 24.81 MB/s

   With the patch:
   Freed  68252 pages in   496 jiffies = 537.52 MB/s
   Freed 116464 pages in   569 jiffies = 798.54 MB/s
   Freed 209699 pages in   705 jiffies = 1161.89 MB/s

At that time, their patch was pretty worth.  However, Modern Hardware
trend and recent VM improvement broke its worth.  From several reason, I
think we should remove shrink_all_zones() at all.

detail:

1) Old days, shrink_zone()'s slowness was mainly caused by stupid io-throttle
  at no i/o congestion.
  but current shrink_zone() is sane, not slow.

2) shrink_all_zone() try to shrink all pages at a time. but it doesn't works
  fine on numa system.
  example)
    System has 4GB memory and each node have 2GB. and hibernate need 1GB.

    optimal)
       steal 500MB from each node.
    shrink_all_zones)
       steal 1GB from node-0.

  Oh, Cache balancing logic was broken. ;)
  Unfortunately, Desktop system moved ahead NUMA at nowadays.
  (Side note, if hibernate require 2GB, shrink_all_zones() never success
   on above machine)

3) if the node has several I/O flighting pages, shrink_all_zones() makes
  pretty bad result.

  schenario) hibernate need 1GB

  1) shrink_all_zones() try to reclaim 1GB from Node-0
  2) but it only reclaimed 990MB
  3) stupidly, shrink_all_zones() try to reclaim 1GB from Node-1
  4) it reclaimed 990MB

  Oh, well. it reclaimed twice much than required.
  In the other hand, current shrink_zone() has sane baling out logic.
  then, it doesn't make overkill reclaim. then, we lost shrink_zones()'s risk.

4) SplitLRU VM always keep active/inactive ratio very carefully. inactive list only
  shrinking break its assumption. it makes unnecessary OOM risk. it obviously suboptimal.

Now, shrink_all_memory() is only the wrapper function of do_try_to_free_pages().
it bring good reviewability and debuggability, and solve above problems.

side note: Reclaim logic unificication makes two good side effect.
 - Fix recursive reclaim bug on shrink_all_memory().
   it did forgot to use PF_MEMALLOC. it mean the system be able to stuck into deadlock.
 - Now, shrink_all_memory() got lockdep awareness. it bring good debuggability.
