[PATCH v5 17/36] mm/vmscan: disallow reclaim of private node memory

[Gregory Price]

Private nodes do not support reclaim by default, so prevent all
reclaimers from operating on private nodes.

shrink_node() is the common chokepoint for most reclaimers (direct,
kswapd, proactive, mglru, etc), so it's the best place to filter.

DAMON's proactive pageout bypasses shrink_node() entirely, so we
disable DAMON in a separate commit as its own discrete service.

Other reclaim entry points are already covered - e.g. MGLRU's debugfs
interface rejects nids that are not N_MEMORY (N_MEMORY_PRIVATE is
mutually exclusive), and madvise pageout/cold skips private nodes.
