[PATCH] vmscan return nr_reclaimed

Change all the vmscan functions to retunr the number-of-reclaimed pages and
remove scan_conrtol.nr_reclaimed.

Saves ten-odd bytes of text and makes things clearer and more consistent.

The patch also changes the behaviour of zone_reclaim() when it falls back to slab shrinking.  Christoph says

  "Setting this to one means that we will rescan and shrink the slab for
  each allocation if we are out of zone memory and RECLAIM_SLAB is set.  Plus
  if we do an order 0 allocation we do not go off node as intended.

  "We better set this to zero.  This means the allocation will go offnode
  despite us having potentially freed lots of memory on the zone.  Future
  allocations can then again be done from this zone."
