mm: vmscan: clear kswapd's special reclaim powers before exiting

commit 71abdc15adf8c702a1dd535f8e30df50758848d2 upstream.

When kswapd exits, it can end up taking locks that were previously held
by allocating tasks while they waited for reclaim.  Lockdep currently
warns about this:

This is because the kswapd thread is still marked as a reclaimer at the
time of exit.  But because it is exiting, nobody is actually waiting on
it to make reclaim progress anymore, and it's nothing but a regular
thread at this point.  Be tidy and strip it of all its powers
(PF_MEMALLOC, PF_SWAPWRITE, PF_KSWAPD, and the lockdep reclaim state)
before returning from the thread function.
