mm: vmscan: clean up get_scan_count()
Reclaim pressure balance between anon and file pages is calculated through a tuple of numerators and a shared denominator. Exceptional cases that want to force-scan anon or file pages configure the numerators and denominator such that one list is preferred, which is not necessarily the most obvious way: fraction[0] = 1; fraction[1] = 0; denominator = 1; goto out; Make this easier by making the force-scan cases explicit and use the fractionals only in case they are calculated from reclaim history.
