[PATCH v2 6/7] mm: free swap cache aggressively if memcg swap is full

[Vladimir Davydov]

Swap cache pages are freed aggressively if swap is nearly full (>50%
currently), because otherwise we are likely to stop scanning anonymous
when we near the swap limit even if there is plenty of freeable swap
cache pages. We should follow the same trend in case of memory cgroup,
which has its own swap limit.

Changes in v2:
 - Remove unnecessary PageSwapCache check from mem_cgroup_swap_full.
 - Do not check swap limit on the legacy hierarchy.
