Don't run the reaper if we didn't shrink the cache 

Calling it when nothing is evictable will cause extra kswapd cpu. Also
if we didn't shrink it's unlikely to have memory to reap because we
likely just called it microseconds ago. The exception is if we are in
direct reclaim.

You can see how hard this is being hit in kswapd with a light test
workload:

  34.95%  [zfs]             [k] arc_kmem_reap_now
   5.40%  [spl]             [k] spl_kmem_cache_reap_now
   3.79%  [kernel]          [k] _raw_spin_lock
   2.86%  [spl]             [k] __spl_kmem_cache_generic_shrinker.isra.7
   2.70%  [kernel]          [k] shrink_slab.part.37
   1.93%  [kernel]          [k] isolate_lru_pages.isra.43
   1.55%  [kernel]          [k] __wake_up_bit
   1.20%  [kernel]          [k] super_cache_count
   1.20%  [kernel]          [k] __radix_tree_lookup

With ZFS just mounted but only ext4/pagecache memory pressure
arc_kmem_reap_now still consumes excessive CPU:

  12.69%  [kernel]  [k] isolate_lru_pages.isra.43
  10.76%  [kernel]  [k] free_pcppages_bulk
   7.98%  [kernel]  [k] drop_buffers
   7.31%  [kernel]  [k] shrink_page_list
   6.44%  [zfs]     [k] arc_kmem_reap_now
   4.19%  [kernel]  [k] free_hot_cold_page
   4.00%  [kernel]  [k] __slab_free
   3.95%  [kernel]  [k] __isolate_lru_page
   3.09%  [kernel]  [k] __radix_tree_lookup

Same pagecache only workload as above with this patch series:

  11.58%  [kernel]  [k] isolate_lru_pages.isra.43
  11.20%  [kernel]  [k] drop_buffers
   9.67%  [kernel]  [k] free_pcppages_bulk
   8.44%  [kernel]  [k] shrink_page_list
   4.86%  [kernel]  [k] __isolate_lru_page
   4.43%  [kernel]  [k] free_hot_cold_page
   4.00%  [kernel]  [k] __slab_free
   3.44%  [kernel]  [k] __radix_tree_lookup

   (arc_kmem_reap_now has 0 samples in perf)
