mm: don't avoid high-priority reclaim on unreclaimable nodes

Commit 87d72d7201f4 ("memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets")
sought to avoid high reclaim priorities for kswapd by forcing it to scan
a minimum amount of pages when lru_pages >> priority yielded nothing.

Commit fe502ef2326b ("mm: vmscan: convert global reclaim to per-memcg
LRU lists"), due to switching global reclaim to a round-robin scheme
over all cgroups, had to restrict this forceful behavior to
unreclaimable zones in order to prevent massive overreclaim with many
cgroups.

The latter patch effectively neutered the behavior completely for all
but extreme memory pressure.  But in those situations we might as well
drop the reclaimers to lower priority levels.  Remove the check.
