mm: vmscan: remove dead code related to lumpy reclaim waiting on pages under writeback

Lumpy reclaim worked with two passes - the first which queued pages for IO
and the second which waited on writeback.  As direct reclaim can no longer
write pages there is some dead code.  This patch removes it but direct
reclaim will continue to wait on pages under writeback while in
synchronous reclaim mode.
