Now move_active_pages_to_lru can move pages into active or inactive.
if it moves the pages into inactive, it itself can clear PG_acive.
It makes the function more generic.

Does that mean we also want code to ensure that pages have
the PG_active bit set when we add them to an active list?

Yes. the function name is move_"active"_pages_to_lru.
So  caller have to make sure pages have PG_active.

Good point.
