    ms/mm: vmscan: naming fixes: global_reclaim() and sane_reclaim()
    
    Seven years after introducing the global_reclaim() function, I still have
    to double take when reading a callsite.  I don't know how others do it,
    this is a terrible name.
    
    Invert the meaning and rename it to cgroup_reclaim().
    
    [ After all, "global reclaim" is just regular reclaim invoked from the
      page allocator. It's reclaim on behalf of a cgroup limit that is a
      special case of reclaim, and should be explicit - not the reverse. ]
    
    sane_reclaim() isn't very descriptive either: it tests whether we can use
    the regular writeback throttling - available during regular page reclaim
    or cgroup2 limit reclaim - or need to use the broken
    wait_on_page_writeback() method.  Use "writeback_throttling_sane()".
