mm: multi-gen LRU: avoid futile retries

Browse Source 
Recall that the per-node memcg LRU has two generations and they alternate
when the last memcg (of a given node) is moved from one to the other. 
Each generation is also sharded into multiple bins to improve scalability.
A reclaimer starts with a random bin (in the old generation) and, if it
fails, it will retry, i.e., to try the rest of the bins.

If a reclaimer fails with the last memcg, it should move this memcg to the
young generation first, which causes the generations to alternate, and
then retry.  Otherwise, the retries will be futile because all other bins
are empty.
