mm: reclaim mustn't enter FS for SWP_FS_OPS swap-space

If swap-out is using filesystem operations (SWP_FS_OPS), then it is not
safe to enter the FS for reclaim.  So only down-grade the requirement for
swap pages to __GFP_IO after checking that SWP_FS_OPS are not being used.

This makes the calculation of "may_enter_fs" slightly more complex, so
move it into a separate function.  with that done, there is little value
in maintaining the bool variable any more.  So replace the may_enter_fs
variable with a may_enter_fs() function.  This removes any risk for the
variable becoming out-of-date.
