Memcg iterators are clever to skip nodes that are not soft reclaimable quite efficiently but mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim can be more clever and do not start the soft reclaim pass at all if it knows that nothing would be scanned anyway. In order to do that, simply reuse mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible for the target group of the reclaim and allow the pass only if the whole subtree wouldn't be skipped. TODO - should mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible check for NULL root/memcg so that we do not export root_mem_cgroup?
