mm: vmscan: flatten kswapd priority loop

kswapd stops raising the scanning priority when at least
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been reclaimed or the pgdat is considered
balanced.  It then rechecks if it needs to restart at DEF_PRIORITY and
whether high-order reclaim needs to be reset.  This is not wrong per-se
but it is confusing to follow and forcing kswapd to stay at DEF_PRIORITY
may require several restarts before it has scanned enough pages to meet
the high watermark even at 100% efficiency.  This patch irons out the
logic a bit by controlling when priority is raised and removing the
"goto loop_again".

This patch has kswapd raise the scanning priority until it is scanning
enough pages that it could meet the high watermark in one shrink of the
LRU lists if it is able to reclaim at 100% efficiency.  It will not
raise the scanning prioirty higher unless it is failing to reclaim any
pages.

To avoid infinite looping for high-order allocation requests kswapd will
not reclaim for high-order allocations when it has reclaimed at least
twice the number of pages as the allocation request.
