[RFC PATCH v3 6/6] mm: mglru: run aging if the preferred type has no folios in reclaimable gens

[Barry Song (Xiaomi)]

Respect the type selected by positive_ctrl_err(). If there are no
reclaimable generations left for that type, run aging.

For balanced swappiness values near the middle, still allow gentle
reclaim since the swappiness bias is less of a concern, while the
slightly increased aging overhead might become a problem.
