[PATCH] vmscan: fix zone_reclaim
- PF_SWAPWRITE needs to be set for RECLAIM_SWAP to be able to write out pages to swap. Currently RECLAIM_SWAP may not do that. - remove setting nr_reclaimed pages after slab reclaim since the slab shrinking code does not use that and the nr_reclaimed pages is just right for the intended follow up action.
