[PATCH 3/3] memcg: bail out proactive reclaim when memcg is dying

[Jiayuan Chen]

From: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@xxxxxxxxxx>

Proactive reclaim via memory.reclaim can run for a long time - swap I/O
or thrashing again dominating the latency - and delays cgroup removal in
the same way.

Mitigate this by stopping the reclaim once memcg_is_dying().
