MGLRU already supports reclaiming only from anonymous memory via the
/sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen interface.  Now, memory.reclaim also supports
the swappiness=max parameter to enable reclaiming solely from anonymous
memory.  To unify the semantics of proactive reclaiming from anonymous
folios, the max parameter is introduced.
