[patch 1/8] memcg: remove unused retry signal from reclaim

If the memcg reclaim code detects the target memcg below its limit it
exits and returns a guaranteed non-zero value so that the charge is
retried.

Nowadays, the charge side checks the memcg limit itself and does not
rely on this non-zero return value trick.

This patch removes it. The reclaim code will now always return the
true number of pages it reclaimed on its own.
