mm: frontswap: fix a wrong if condition in frontswap_shrink
pages_to_unuse is set to 0 to unuse all frontswap pages But that doesn't happen since a wrong condition in frontswap_shrink cancel it. -v2: Add comment to explain return value of __frontswap_shrink, as suggested by Dan Carpenter, thanks Signed-off-by: Zhenzhong Duan <zhenzhong.duan@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
