* Refuse to write the page out if we are called from reclaim context.

* This is primarily to avoid stack overflows when called from deep
* used stacks in random callers for direct reclaim, but disabling
* reclaim for kswap is a nice side-effect as kswapd causes rather
* suboptimal I/O patters, too.
* This avoids stack overflows when called from deeply used stacks in
* random callers for direct reclaim or memcg reclaim. We explicitly
* allow reclaim from kswapd as the stack usage there is relatively low.
*
* This should really be done by the core VM, but until that happens
* filesystems like XFS, btrfs and ext4 have to take care of this
* by themselves.
