Johannes Weiner ed23ec4f0a mm: vmscan: fix inappropriate zone congestion clearing
commit c702418f8a ("mm: vmscan: do not keep kswapd looping forever due
to individual uncompactable zones") removed zone watermark checks from
the compaction code in kswapd but left in the zone congestion clearing,
which now happens unconditionally on higher order reclaim.

This messes up the reclaim throttling logic for zones with
dirty/writeback pages, where zones should only lose their congestion
status when their watermarks have been restored.

Remove the clearing from the zone compaction section entirely.  The
preliminary zone check and the reclaim loop in kswapd will clear it if
the zone is considered balanced.
