Inode cache pruning indirectly reclaims page-cache by invalidating mapping pages.
Let's account them into reclaim-state to notice this progress in memory reclaimer.

hm, yes, I suppose we should.

It seems to be cheating to use the "reclaimed_slab" field for this.
Perhaps it would be cleaner to add an additional field to reclaim_state
for non-slab pages which were also reclaimed.  That's a cosmetic thing
and I guess we don't need to go that far, not sure...

Do we really need separate on-stack reclaim_state structure with single field?
Maybe replace it with single long (or even unsigned int) .reclaimed_pages field on task_struct
and account reclaimed pages unconditionally.
