[PATCH 2/4] mm, page_alloc: pull no_progress_loops update to should_reclaim_retry()

[Vlastimil Babka]

The should_reclaim_retry() makes decisions based on no_progress_loops, so it
makes sense to also update the counter there. It will be also consistent with
should_compact_retry() and compaction_retries. No functional change.
