The setting of sc->reclaim_idx is unexpected here. Why not set it in
the caller and eliminate the reclaim_idx parameter?

It's unfortunate that we start with the lowest zone here. For Normal
allocations, the most common allocations, this will always have two
full shrink_node() rounds that skip over everything >DMA in the first,
then over everything >DMA32 in the second, even though all pages on
the node are valid reclaim candidates for that allocation.
