[PATCH] mm/workingset.c: avoid unnecessary max_nodes estimation in count_shadow_nodes()

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Sat Jan 23 2021 - 02:39:47 EST


If list_lru_shrink_count is 0, we always return SHRINK_EMPTY regardless of
the value of max_nodes. So we can return early if nodes == 0 to save some
cpu cycles of approximating a reasonable limit for the nodes.
