mm/memcontrol: fix reclaim_options leak in try_charge_memcg()
In try_charge_memcg(), the 'reclaim_options' variable is initialized once at the start of the function. However, the function contains a retry loop. If reclaim_options were modified during an iteration (e.g., by encountering a memsw limit), the modified state would persist into subsequent retries. This leads to incorrect reclaim behavior. Specifically, MEMCG_RECLAIM_MAY_SWAP is cleared when the combined memcg->memsw limit is reached. After reclaimation attempts, a subsequent retry may successfully charge memcg->memsw but fail on the memcg->memory charge. In this case, swapping should be permitted, but the carried-over state prevents it. This issue was identified during code reading of try_charge_memcg() while analyzing memsw limit behavior in tiered-memory systems; no production failures have been reported yet. Fix by moving the initialization of 'reclaim_options' inside the retry loop, ensuring a clean state for every reclaim attempt.
