[PATCH] mm/vmscan : use vmcan_swappiness( ) basing on MEMCG config to elimiate unnecessary runtime cost

[larmbr]

Currently, we get the vm_swappiness via vmscan_swappiness(), which
calls global_reclaim() to check if this is a global reclaim. 

Besides, the current implementation of global_reclaim() always returns 
true for the !CONFIG_MEGCG case, and judges the other case by checking 
whether scan_control->target_mem_cgroup is null or not.

Thus, we could just use two versions of vmscan_swappiness() based on 
MEMCG Kconfig , to eliminate the unnecessary run-time cost for 
the !CONFIG_MEMCG at all, and to squash all memcg-related checking
into the CONFIG_MEMCG version.
