Aaahh, that makes sense. I was looking at the latest mmots which
has

- mm: vmscan: detect file thrashing at the reclaim root
- mm: vmscan: enforce inactive:active ratio at the reclaim root

Those replace the inactive_is_low and the workingset callsites with
the recursive lruvec_page_state(). It looks like that isn't in next -
and while I hope it'll make it into 5.5, it might not. So we need a
fix that considers the other callsites as well.

Qian's patches that Andrew already has will be good then, as it
reduces the churn to those other callsites that are in flux.

We can clean things up when the dust settles.
