memcg: fix wrong check of noswap with softlimit

Hierarchical reclaim doesn't swap out if memsw and resource limits are
thye same (memsw_is_minimum == true) because we would hit mem+swap limit
anyway (during hard limit reclaim).

If it comes to the soft limit we shouldn't consider memsw_is_minimum at
all because it doesn't make much sense.  Either the soft limit is bellow
the hard limit and then we cannot hit mem+swap limit or the direct reclaim
takes a precedence.
