[PATCH v2 2/4] mm/vmscan: remove redundant current_may_throttle() check

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Fri Mar 23 2018 - 11:20:15 EST


Only kswapd can have non-zero nr_immediate, and current_may_throttle() is
always true for kswapd (PF_LESS_THROTTLE bit is never set) thus it's
enough to check stat.nr_immediate only.
