mm: revert "vmscan: get_scan_ratio() cleanup"
Shaohua Li reported his tmpfs streaming I/O test can lead to make oom. The test uses a 6G tmpfs in a system with 3G memory. In the tmpfs, there are 6 copies of kernel source and the test does kbuild for each copy. His investigation shows the test has a lot of rotated anon pages and quite few file pages, so get_scan_ratio calculates percent[0] (i.e. scanning percent for anon) to be zero. Actually the percent[0] shoule be a big value, but our calculation round it to zero. Although before commit 84b18490 ("vmscan: get_scan_ratio() cleanup") , we have the same problem too. But the old logic can rescue percent[0]==0 case only when priority==0. It had hided the real issue. I didn't think merely streaming io can makes percent[0]==0 && priority==0 situation. but I was wrong. So, definitely we have to fix such tmpfs streaming io issue. but anyway I revert the regression commit at first. This reverts commit 84b18490d1f1bc7ed5095c929f78bc002eb70f26.
