[PATCH] memcg: remove congestion wait when force empty

From: Li RongQing
Date: Wed Sep 12 2018 - 05:19:45 EST


memory.force_empty is used to empty a memory cgoup memory before
rmdir it, avoid to charge those memory into parent cgroup

when try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages returns 0, guess there maybe be
lots of writeback, so wait. but the waiting and sleep will called
in shrink_inactive_list, based on numbers of isolated page, so
remove this wait to reduce unnecessary delay
