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.
