[Devel] [PATCH rh7] Revert "mm: Port diff-mm-vmscan-disable-fs-related-activity-for-direct-direct-reclaim"

[Andrey Ryabinin]

This reverts commit 50fb388878b646872b78143de3c1bf3fa6f7f148.
Sometimes we can see a lot of reclaimable dcache and no other reclaimbale memory.
It looks like that kswapd can't keep up reclaiming dcache fast enough.

Commit 50fb388878b6 forbids to reclaim dcache in direct reclaim to prevent
potential deadlocks that might happen due to bugs in other subsystems.
Revert it to allow more aggressive dcache reclaim. It's unlikely to cause
any problems since we already directly reclaim dcache in memcg reclaim,
so let's do the same for the global one.
