[PATCH] mm/memcontrol: remove unused memcg parameter in calculate_high_delay()

[PATCH] mm/memcontrol: remove unused memcg parameter in calculate_high_delay()

[Hongfu Li]

From: Hongfu Li <lihongfu@kylinos.cn>

The memcg argument of calculate_high_delay() is never referenced in
its function body. The delay calculation only depends on nr_pages
and max_overage, and both callers have already obtained max_overage
from the same memcg.

Drop this unused parameter and update the two call sites inside
__mem_cgroup_handle_over_high().

Looks good cleanup to me.
