According to the above some bugfix from Minchan and keep the long existing BUG_ON.
Maybe It is better to do that.

As to the unmapped unevictable pages. shrink_page_list has taken that into account.
shinkr_page_list
page_evictable --> will filter the unevictable pages to putback its lru.
That should be not a problem after removing the BUG_ON.

Will add in v2. Thanks
