KOSAKI Motohiro bb3ab59683 vmscan: stop kswapd waiting on congestion when the min watermark is not being met 
If reclaim fails to make sufficient progress, the priority is raised.
Once the priority is higher, kswapd starts waiting on congestion.
However, if the zone is below the min watermark then kswapd needs to
continue working without delay as there is a danger of an increased rate
of GFP_ATOMIC allocation failure.

This patch changes the conditions under which kswapd waits on congestion
by only going to sleep if the min watermarks are being met.

[mel@csn.ul.ie: add stats to track how relevant the logic is]
[mel@csn.ul.ie: make kswapd only check its own zones and rename the relevant counters]
