memcg: remove mem_cgroup_reclaimable check from soft reclaim
mem_cgroup_reclaimable() checks whether a cgroup has reclaimable pages on *any* NUMA node. However, the only place where it's called is mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim(), which tries to reclaim memory from a *specific* zone. So the way it is used is incorrect - it will return true even if the cgroup doesn't have pages on the zone we're scanning. I think we can get rid of this check completely, because mem_cgroup_shrink_node_zone(), which is called by mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim() if mem_cgroup_reclaimable() returns true, is equivalent to shrink_lruvec(), which exits almost immediately if the lruvec passed to it is empty. So there's no need to optimize anything here. Besides, we don't have such a check in the general scan path (shrink_zone) either.
