Commit fa5e084e43eb ("vmscan: do not unconditionally treat zones that
fail zone_reclaim() as full") changed the return value of node_reclaim().
The original return value 0 means NODE_RECLAIM_SOME after this commit.

While the return value of node_reclaim() when CONFIG_NUMA is n is not
changed. This will leads to call zone_watermark_ok() again.

This patch fix the return value by adjusting to NODE_RECLAIM_NOSCAN. Since
it is not proper to include "mm/internal.h", just hard coded it.

This doesn't effect the system functionally. I am not sure we need to cc to
stable tree?

Since the return value is defined in mm/internal.h that means no code
outside mm/ can call node_reclaim (nor should it).  So let's move both
of node_reclaim's declarations to mm/internal.h instead of keeping them
in linux/swap.h.

That's reasonable, thanks.
