Subject: memcg: move mem_cgroup_swappiness and vm_swappiness to mm/swap.h

Patch series "mm: fix node reclaim swappiness handling", v2.

The per-node proactive reclaim interface
(/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/reclaim) accepts a swappiness parameter,
but it is silently ignored when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled.  The root cause
is that sc_swappiness() has separate implementations for CONFIG_MEMCG and
!CONFIG_MEMCG, and the latter never checks proactive_swappiness.

Patch 1 moves mem_cgroup_swappiness() and vm_swappiness out of the public
include/linux/swap.h into the mm-private mm/swap.h, and makes the helper
handle both CONFIG_MEMCG and !CONFIG_MEMCG in a single inline function. 
This is a prerequisite for unifying sc_swappiness().

Patch 2 consolidates sc_swappiness() into a single definition that works
regardless of CONFIG_MEMCG, fixing the node reclaim swappiness bug.


This patch (of 2):

The per-memcg swappiness knob is v1-only; v2 always uses global
vm_swappiness and ignores the per-cgroup field.

Both mem_cgroup_swappiness() and vm_swappiness are only used within mm/
(memcontrol.c, memcontrol-v1.c, vmscan.c), so move them out of the public
include/linux/swap.h into the mm-private mm/swap.h.  This keeps unrelated
declarations out of include/linux/swap.h.

Guard memcg->swappiness with CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 as well, so v2-only kernels
drop the unused field.
