memcg: remove unused retry signal from reclaim
If the memcg reclaim code detects the target memcg below its limit it exits and returns a guaranteed non-zero value so that the charge is retried. Nowadays, the charge side checks the memcg limit itself and does not rely on this non-zero return value trick. This patch removes it. The reclaim code will now always return the true number of pages it reclaimed on its own.
