[PATCH] vmscan: emove obsolete checks from shrink_list() and fix unlikely in refill_inactive_zone()

As suggested by Marcelo:

1. The optimization introduced recently for not calling
   page_referenced() during zone reclaim makes two additional checks in
   shrink_list unnecessary.

2. The if (unlikely(sc->may_swap)) in refill_inactive_zone is optimized

slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap().  Cache_reap()
is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure.

Could we remove the whole thing?  Its only used by three slabs anyways and
I cannot find a reason for having this option.

There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP.  If set then the recovery
of objects from alien caches is switched off.  Objects not freed on the
same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a
certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely)

[PATCH] sched: remove sleep_avg multiplier

Remove the sleep_avg multiplier.  This multiplier was necessary back when
we had 10 seconds of dynamic range in sleep_avg, but now that we only have
one second, it causes that one second to be compressed down to 100ms in
some cases.  This is particularly noticeable when compiling a kernel in a
slow NFS mount, and I believe it to be a very likely candidate for other
recently reported network related interactivity problems.

In testing, I can detect no negative impact of this removal.
