[PATCH] mm/vmscan.c: no need to double-check if free pages are under high-watermark

[skseofh@gmail.com]

From: Daero Lee <skseofh@gmail.com>

In kswapd_try_to_sleep function, to check whether kswapd can sleep,
the prepare_kswapd_sleep function is called twice.

If free pages are below high-watermark in the first call,
the @remaining variable is not updated at 0 and the
prepare_kswapd_sleep function is called for the second time.

I think it is necessary to set the initial value of the
@remaining to a non-zero value to prevent consecutive calls
to the same function.
