[PATCH] vmscan: no zone_reclaim if PF_MALLOC is set

If the process has already set PF_MALLOC and is already using
current->reclaim_state then do not try to reclaim memory from the zone.
This is set by kswapd and/or synchrononous global reclaim which will not
take it lightly if we zap the reclaim_state.
