Hi Vitaly,

Do not try to optimize in-page object layout while the page is
under reclaim. This fixes lock-ups on reclaim and improves reclaim
performance at the same time.
A heads-up: z3fold is still crashing (due to a NULL pointer access) under
heavy memory pressure with this patch applied. That doesn't mean the patch
should not be applied - the new crash is different - but there is more work
to do.
See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=822360#c21 for a
crash log. This was seen with chromeos-4.14 with (I hope) all relevant z3fold
patches applied. I am trying to reproduce the problem on top of mainline.
