[PATCH 1/9] mm: vmscan: simplify nr_deferred update code

[Yang Shi]

Currently if (next_deferred - scanned) = 0, the code would just read the current
nr_deferred otherwise add the delta back.  Both needs atomic operation anyway, it
seems there is not too much gain by distinguishing the two cases, so just add the
delta back even though the delta is 0.  This would simply the code for the following
patches too.
