[PATCH] mm/mglru: restore accidentally removed seq < max_seq check

[Barry Song (Xiaomi)]

Since commit 798c0330c2ca ("mm/mglru: rework aging feedback"),
the following sanity check was accidentally removed:
       if (seq < max_seq)
               return 0;

That means we can perform aging for any value less than or equal to
max_gen_nr.

This has been inconsistent with
Documentation/admin-guide/mm/multigen_lru.rst, which states:

 Users can write the following command to ``lru_gen`` to create a new
 generation ``max_gen_nr+1``:

     ``+ memcg_id node_id max_gen_nr [can_swap [force_scan]]``

The correct semantics are that writing a value smaller than
max_gen_nr should return 0, since the requested generation already
exists.
