mm: memcg: rename and document global_reclaim()

Evidently, global_reclaim() can be a confusing name.  Especially that it
used to exist before with a subtly different definition (removed by commit
b5ead35e ("mm: vmscan: naming fixes: global_reclaim() and
sane_reclaim()").  It can be interpreted as non-cgroup reclaim, even
though it returns true for cgroup reclaim on the root memcg (through
memory.reclaim).

Rename it to root_reclaim() in an attempt to make it less ambiguous, and
add documentation to it as well as cgroup_reclaim.
