[PATCH 1/5] vmscan: separate sc.swap_cluster_max and sc.nr_max_reclaim

[KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com>]

Currently, sc.scap_cluster_max has double meanings.

 1) reclaim batch size as isolate_lru_pages()'s argument
 2) reclaim baling out thresolds

The two meanings pretty unrelated. Thus, Let's separate it.
this patch doesn't change any behavior.
