Subject: [PATCH 03/19] UPSTREAM: mm: multi-gen LRU: remove eviction fairness
 safeguard

Recall that the eviction consumes the oldest generation: first it
bucket-sorts folios whose gen counters were updated by the aging and
reclaims the rest; then it increments lrugen->min_seq.

The current eviction fairness safeguard for global reclaim has a
dilemma: when there are multiple eligible memcgs, should it continue
or stop upon meeting the reclaim goal? If it continues, it overshoots
and increases direct reclaim latency; if it stops, it loses fairness
between memcgs it has taken memory away from and those it has yet to.

With memcg LRU, the eviction, while ensuring eventual fairness, will
stop upon meeting its goal. Therefore the current eviction fairness
safeguard for global reclaim will not be needed.

Note that memcg LRU only applies to global reclaim. For memcg reclaim,
the eviction will continue, even if it is overshooting. This becomes
unconditional due to code simplification.
