[PATCH] zone_reclaim: additional comments and cleanup

Add some comments to explain how zone reclaim works.  And it fixes the
following issues:

- PF_SWAPWRITE needs to be set for RECLAIM_SWAP to be able to write
  out pages to swap. Currently RECLAIM_SWAP may not do that.

- remove setting nr_reclaimed pages after slab reclaim since the slab shrinking
  code does not use that and the nr_reclaimed pages is just right for the
  intended follow up action.
