Subject: [PATCH] vmscan: initialize sc->nr_reclaimed properly

Commit a79311c14eae4bb946a97af25f3e1b17d625985d "vmscan: bail out of
direct reclaim after swap_cluster_max pages" moved the nr_reclaimed
counter into the scan control to accumulate the number of all
reclaimed pages in one direct reclaim invocation.

The commit missed to actually adjust try_to_free_pages() and __zone_reclaim()
which now does not initialize sc.nr_reclaimed and makes shrink_zone() make
assumptions on whether to bail out of the reclaim cycle based on an
uninitialized value.

Fix it up.
