Commit e22c6ed90aa9 ("mm: memcontrol: don't count limit-setting reclaim
as memory pressure") made sure that memory reclaim that is induced by
userspace (limit-setting, proactive reclaim, ..) is not counted as
memory pressure for the purposes of psi.

Instead of counting psi inside try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages(), callers
from try_charge() and reclaim_high() wrap the call to
try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages() with psi handlers.

However, vmpressure is still counted in these cases where reclaim is
directly induced by userspace. This patch makes sure vmpressure is not
counted in those operations, in the same way as psi. Since vmpressure
calls need to happen deeper within the reclaim path, the same approach
could not be followed. Hence, a new "controlled" flag is added to struct
scan_control to flag a reclaim operation that is controlled by
userspace. This flag is set by limit-setting and proactive reclaim
operations, and is used to count vmpressure correctly.

To prevent future divergence of psi and vmpressure, commit e22c6ed90aa9
("mm: memcontrol: don't count limit-setting reclaim as memory pressure")
is effectively reverted and the same flag is used to control psi as
well.

Changes in v2:
- Removed unnecessary initializations to zero (Andrew).
- Separate declarations and initializations when it causes line wrapping
  (Andrew).
