[patch 2/3] mm: memcontrol: simplify detecting when the memory+swap limit is hit

[Johannes Weiner]

When attempting to charge pages, we first charge the memory counter
and then the memory+swap counter.  If one of the counters is at its
limit, we enter reclaim, but if it's the memory+swap counter, reclaim
shouldn't swap because that wouldn't change the situation.  However,
if the counters have the same limits, we never get to the memory+swap
limit.  To know whether reclaim should swap or not, there is a state
flag that indicates whether the limits are equal and whether hitting
the memory limit implies hitting the memory+swap limit.

Just try the memory+swap counter first.
