[PATCH 26/34] mm, vmscan: avoid passing in remaining unnecessarily to prepare_kswapd_sleep

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Fri Jul 08 2016 - 05:39:59 EST


As pointed out by Minchan Kim, the first call to prepare_kswapd_sleep
always passes in 0 for remaining and the second call can trivially
check the parameter in advance.
