mm: vmscan: distinguish global reclaim from global LRU scanning

The traditional zone reclaim code is scanning the per-zone LRU lists
during direct reclaim and kswapd, and the per-zone per-memory cgroup LRU
lists when reclaiming on behalf of a memory cgroup limit.

Subsequent patches will convert the traditional reclaim code to reclaim
exclusively from the per-memory cgroup LRU lists.  As a result, using
the predicate for which LRU list is scanned will no longer be
appropriate to tell global reclaim from limit reclaim.

This patch adds a global_reclaim() predicate to tell direct/kswapd
reclaim from memory cgroup limit reclaim and substitutes it in all
places where currently scanning_global_lru() is used for that.
