Subject: [PATCH 27/29] mm: multi-gen LRU: clarify scan_control flags

Among the flags in scan_control:
1. sc->may_swap, which indicates swap constraint due to memsw.max, is
   supported as usual.
2. sc->proactive, which indicates reclaim by memory.reclaim, may not
   opportunistically skip the aging path, since it is considered less
   latency sensitive.
3. !(sc->gfp_mask & __GFP_IO), which indicates IO constraint, lowers
   swappiness to prioritize file LRU, since clean file pages are more
   likely to exist.
4. sc->may_writepage and sc->may_unmap, which indicates opportunistic
   reclaim, are rejected, since unmapped clean pages are already
   prioritized. Scanning for more of them is likely futile and can
   cause high reclaim latency when there is a large number of memcgs.

The rest are handled by the existing code.
