    kswapd should only wait on IO if there is IO

    The current kswapd (and try_to_free_pages) code has an oddity where the
    code will wait on IO, even if there is no IO in flight.  This problem is
    notable especially when the system scans through many unfreeable pages,
    causing unnecessary stalls in the VM.

    Additionally, tasks without __GFP_FS or __GFP_IO in the direct reclaim path
    will sleep if a significant number of pages are encountered that should be
    written out.  This gives kswapd a chance to write out those pages, while
    the direct reclaim task sleeps.
