I'm a bit confused about the description vs actual code.
It appears to move some duplicated code to a related function, which is
fine. The rest of callsites that didn't perform the clearing before
(prepare_kswapd_sleep() and wakeup_kswapd()) might be a bit overkill,
but won't hurt. But I don't see the part "considers whether the kernel
should stall based on node-based reclaim activity". Is something missing?
