[PATCH] mm: remove struct reclaim_state

[Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@openvz.org>]

Memory reclaimer want to know how much pages was reclaimed during shrinking slabs.
Currently there is special struct reclaim_state with single counter and pointer from
task-struct. Let's store counter direcly on task struct and account freed pages
unconditionally. This will reduce stack usage and simplify code in reclaimer and slab.

Logic in do_try_to_free_pages() is slightly changed, but this is ok.
Nobody calls shrink_slab() explicitly before do_try_to_free_pages(),
so there is no extra reclaim progress which we must account into scan-control.
