Could we avoid this by using a single stat that just accumulates over
multiple calls to reclaim_folio_list()?

That means shrink_folio_list() would not do the initial memset(0) and it
would be caller responsibility.

AFAICS shrink_folio_list() only cares about these fields:

pgactivate = stat->nr_activate[0] + stat->nr_activate[1];

in order to do

count_vm_events(PGACTIVATE, pgactivate);

Which could be adjusted to deal with accumulating stat - i.e. take an
initial sum of the fields in stat and subtract from the final sum to get
the delta.
