[PATCH] temporarily disable swap token on memory pressure

Browse Source 
Some users (hi Zwane) have seen a problem when running a workload that
eats nearly all of physical memory - th system does an OOM kill, even
when there is still a lot of swap free.

The problem appears to be a very big task that is holding the swap
token, and the VM has a very hard time finding any other page in the
system that is swappable.

Instead of ignoring the swap token when sc->priority reaches 0, we could
simply take the swap token away from the memory hog and make sure we
don't give it back to the memory hog for a few seconds.

This patch resolves the problem Zwane ran into.
