[PATCH] mm: refactor si_mem_available()

From: Lorenzo Stoakes
Date: Sun Aug 27 2023 - 07:09:46 EST


The si_mem_available() function needlessly places LRU statistics into an
array before retrieving only two of them, simply access those directly.

In addition, refactor the code so that the blocks of code which calculate
the page cache and reclaimable components each resemble one another to
clearly indicate we cap both against wmark_low in the same fashion.
