mm: don't avoid high-priority reclaim on memcg limit reclaim
Commit 246e87a93934 ("memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets")
sought to avoid high reclaim priorities for memcg by forcing it to scan
a minimum amount of pages when lru_pages >> priority yielded nothing.
This was done at a time when reclaim decisions like dirty throttling
were tied to the priority level.
Nowadays, the only meaningful thing still tied to priority dropping
below DEF_PRIORITY - 2 is gating whether laptop_mode=1 is generally
allowed to write. But that is from an era where direct reclaim was
still allowed to call ->writepage, and kswapd nowadays avoids writes
until it's scanned every clean page in the system. Potential changes to
how quick sc->may_writepage could trigger are of little concern.
Remove the force_scan stuff, as well as the ugly multi-pass target
calculation that it necessitated.
