memcg: fix vmscan count in small memcgs
Commit 246e87a93934 ("memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets")
fixes the memcg/kswapd behavior against small targets and prevent vmscan
priority too high.
But the implementation is too naive and adds another problem to small
memcg. It always force scan to 32 pages of file/anon and doesn't handle
swappiness and other rotate_info. It makes vmscan to scan anon LRU
regardless of swappiness and make reclaim bad. This patch fixes it by
adjusting scanning count with regard to swappiness at el.
At a test "cat 1G file under 300M limit." (swappiness=20)

scanned_pages_by_system 0
the numbers of scanning anon are decreased(as expected), and elapsed time
reduced. By this patch, small memcgs will work better.
(*) Because the amount of file-cache is much bigger than anon,
recalaim_stat's rotate-scan counter make scanning files more.
